Simon's grip on a lineup spot with the Penguins should be considered tenuous at best, but heading into camp he figures to be ahead of Jean-Sebastien Dea, Zach Aston-Reese and Derek Grant. It would take a very solid season from the versatile winger to avoid spending some time in the press box or even in the minors, though any demotion would likely be temporary. Thus far, the Prague native has performed well at hockey's highest level, as he garnered 12 points in 33 contests last year, despite averaging a mere 11:25 of ice time.
