Fantasy: 5 moves you need to make in Week 11

Every week, theScore offers a fantasy hockey column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 11. Roster percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.

Add Kirby Dach

Team: Blackhawks
Position: C
Rostered: 22%

Dach made his season debut Saturday after breaking his wrist during a world juniors exhibition game in December. He didn't find the scoresheet in his return, but he also wasn't eased back into action, logging over 20 minutes of ice time.

The 2019 third overall pick is currently on a line with Dylan Strome and Mattias Janmark, but he is on the top power-play unit. As good as rookie Pius Suter has played this season, it wouldn't be surprising if Dach took his spot on the first line between Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, which would immensely boost his fantasy value.

Team: Sabres
Position: LW
Rostered: 69%

Hall's nightmare season has been well-documented, but a change of scenery could be all he needs to turn his year around. The pending unrestricted free agent will almost certainly be dealt ahead of the April 12 trade deadline. Going to a playoff team, where he'll likely have better linemates, should lead to better fantasy production.

Given that the former Hart Trophy winner has just two goals and 15 assists on the season, he can probably be had for very little on the fantasy trade market. He's also due to receive some puck luck at some point, as he's shooting an uncanny 2.5%.

If Hall is available in your league, pick him up immediately.

Drop Mike Hoffman

Team: Blues
Position: LW/RW
Rostered: 72%

It's worth trying to shop Hoffman on the open market, but he can be dropped if there are no takers. He was a healthy scratch Sunday and has been held pointless in his last five games. The Blues also play just two games this week, minimizing his short-term value even if he was producing.

Add Eeli Tolvanen Gregory Shamus / Getty Images Sport / Getty

Team: Predators
Position: LW/RW
Rostered: 29%

Tolvanen has been red-hot lately, tallying five goals and six assists in his last 12 games entering Sunday. The 21-year-old's prospect shine wore off a bit since his record-setting KHL season in 2017-18, but he seems to have reached his potential.

The Predators are stringing wins together but they're still widely expected to be sellers. If forwards such as Mikael Granlund, Erik Haula, and others are traded, it will likely open up more ice time for Tolvanen.

Add Jason Robertson

Team: Stars
Position: LW
Rostered: 19%

Robertson has been a source of much-needed offense for the Stars recently, entering Sunday with three goals and 11 assists in his last 14 games. He's also averaging nearly four shots and over 20 minutes per contest during his last six games, so it's possible more goals are on the way.

Robertson, 21, is skating on Dallas' top line with Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski. The Stars also play four times this coming week.
