Keeper Rankings - November

Interesting start to the season. Last season's MVP is slumming it with Sean Avery, Alexander Semin all of a sudden has the confidence to call out Sid the Kid, and Ryan Getzlaf grabbed Corey Perry by the nards and dragged him to a monster month.

Crosby still remains number one, but Malkin is knocking on the door of the last two MVPs, Luongo is making his bid for number one and youngster's Patrick Kane, Shea Weber and Derrick Brassard are putting the heat on fantasy stalwart's Joe Thornton and Nik Lidstrom.

And can somebody please send out a search party for Sam Gagner?
