With only 30 points and 75 PIMs (and a minus-2 rating), Simmonds was largely replaceable last season. Now a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, his skill set offers some intrigue to fantasy owners, especially since Simmonds has the chance to fight for a spot in the top six. Watch training camp depth-chart battles to see whether Simmonds winds up on one of the Flyers' top two lines. If he does, consider stashing him late in your fantasy draft.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"playerRater30DAY":6.9,"playerRater15DAY":8.8,"positionRank":18}
