Flyers' Wayne Simmonds: Drops down the depth chart at practice

Simmonds skated on the third line with Brayden Schenn and Travis Konecny during Friday's practice, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly reports.

Analysis:

Typically dropping down the lineup isn't a positive, but it isn't far-fetched to suggest the Konecny-Schenn-Simmonds trio is the most dangerous Philadelphia line. Additionally, Simmonds still has his net-front role with the No. 1 power-play unit to help pad his numbers. The veteran winger remains an elite cross-category contributor in all fantasy settings, and you shouldn't overreact to his linemate shuffle at five-on-five.
