Simmonds is a perfect fit for the Flames. Would be a great leader for the kids who play with an edge also ( Hathaway, Ferland, Grant, etc)
And would also be an ideal linemate for JG and SM as he wouldn't put up with other players taking liberties. Wayne Simmonds doesn't take other teams $#!+, that maybe why some people think he takes bad penalties.

Agreed. Wayne Simmonds is pretty much what you want Bennett to eventually turn out to be, albeit with more skill. One of those guys who's got grit, but can still produce for you.
