Selected in the second round of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, Chris Simon’s greatest claim as a Philadelphia Flyer is being a cog in the gear that executed a trade for Eric Lindros. When a team drafts a player, the idea is that they will be a direct asset to the team’s performance. It isn’t that they will be an indirect asset to the team by being traded away for another piece. At one point in his career, Simon did find a temporary groove. He never played a moment on the ice for the Flyers.
