1. Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche): He’s simply unstoppable. MacKinnon is currently riding a multi-point streak, averaging over 5 shots on goal per game in his last five outings, and remains the primary offensive catalyst on the league's most potent power play. His floor is sky-high, and his ceiling is unmatched, making him a must-roster despite the premium price tag. Don't overthink it, load him up.

2. Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche): Sticking with the Avs, Makar is your elite defensive play. He's a point-per-game defenseman who quarterback's that deadly top power-play unit with MacKinnon. Makar has registered points in four of his last five games, including multiple assists and significant shot volume. He delivers offensive production, blocks shots, and provides a safe floor with game-breaking upside that few defensemen can match.
