BLOG: Devils Pumped for Simmonds' Presence

With all the Devils additions this summer, perhaps the most overlooked is the signing of Wayne Simmonds in free agency.
The veteran power forward has quite a few fans around the Devils locker room, and they all say essentially the same thing: they're glad he's now on their side.
"I obviously got to know him real well playing against him for so many years in Philly," said Devils Captain Andy Greene. "He makes everybody a little bit taller and a little bit braver out there just with the way he plays and how he protects his teammates. Everyone knows that you've got be careful out there with him. And then just the way he plays. You know how skilled he is and how much of a power forward he is down there and he grinds it out. He can make plays. It's exciting to have him over here.
