Happy Monday and Hockey Hall of Fame induction day y'all!

I know many will ask why Keith Tkachuk is headed to the Hall, but I think we can all agree he would be in the fantasy hall of fame. The goals, powerplay production, shots, PIMs, (and hits if they kept track of them back then) definitely made him a hot commodity in the mid and late-90s.

Last week, Dobber announced that his leukemia relapsed and he is now in round three of his fight. Keep him and his family in your prayers and thoughts as he kicks its arse again!

The Anaheim Ducks are still the friendliest fantasy team out there right now, having scored at least five goals in eight straight games. They are being carried mostly by their powerplay, which is currently clicking at 38.5%. Insane numbers, so if you are currently riding the power of the flying-V, look to sell high.

Troy Terry has been practicing with the team and is close to a return, but I don't think he'll start on that top extra man unit right away only because of how well they are doing. Once they hit a wall, the coaching staff will mix things up and the American winger will get his shot, but until then, don't expect huge numbers right away. 

The Ducks play on Wednesday and Sunday this week, two nights that don't have a lot of hockey on the schedule so one player I'd look to stream is Mikael Granlund. He is available in 54% of Yahoo leagues. The Finnish forward contributes across the board and is a key component of their hot powerplay. Wednesday's opponent (Nashville Predators) and Sunday's opponent (Calgary Flames) both play the day before so the opposition will come into Honda Center not with a full tank.

We almost saw history on Saturday night as Connor McDavid needed six points to tie Wayne Gretzky's record for the fastest to 50 points and I really thought we were going to see it because the Edmonton Oilers were facing the Vancouver Canucks. Alas, McDavid only hit the scoresheet three times (chump). All kidding aside, we are watching history in the making here as he is still on pace for 210 points. 

In that game, we saw Ryan Nugent-Hopkins take a puck off the dome when a teammate was trying to dump the puck in. He did not return to the game, but the coaching staff did not seem to worried about it when asked after the final horn. No updates have been given, but the former first overall selection started the season on the shelf because of a lower-body injury.

If Nuge does end up missing some action, Kasperi Kapanen would receive the bump back up to that top powerplay unit. The winger was recently taken off that group when Zach Hyman returned, but if the Finnish winger sees some of that pie again, he is definitely worth picking back up.

McDavid (47) already has the Art Ross trophy locked in as his teammate, Leon Draisaitl (34) sits in second, 13 points behind the captain. In third place is a third Oiler, Evan Bouchard, at 31 points, but now he is tied with another player; Kirill Kaprizov is now also at 31 points. As long as McDavid keeps up this torrid pace, his teammates will obviously benefit as well and I can see Draisaitl in the top five all season. Bouchard is on an incredible pace and I feel he can finish top 10 among all skaters.

Veterans Day/Remembrance Day is on Wednesday, November 11, and I just have to give a quick shoutout to my brother, who served 20 years in the Marines, and every other service member who has fought for our country. Without them, we wouldn't be able to live the life that we are able to.

As always, hit me up on Twitter, @LAM1926, if you have any questions about trades or need some help with lineup decisions. Have a great week!
