That combined with the now vacated spaces from the Mega Furniture Store could be put together to make some valuable retail space.

I was thinking that if Simons went there they would build an addition onto the south side of the mall (the chemin de la Savane side) where there is lots of space and excess parking, plus they will likely get back space from the STO bus stops when the Rapibus is operational.
But this front (Maloney) side might also do the trick. And if I was Simons that's the side I would want to be on because Maloney has way more traffic than de la Savane. Although they'd likely have to make do with the space that is there as there is not much space to expand as the parking section between that entrance and the road (Maloney) is already slim to begin with.
Simons tends to build stores in the 100,000 square foot range. Which is about the size of the ground floor of the two-floor Bay store at Les Promenades. The Revenue Canada offices plus the vacant Méga Meubles are probably pretty close to that size together.
