What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
TastefulTides: Single-entry and 3-max GPPs are my preferred format. It will be very difficult to fade Colorado in a really good matchup against Nashville. Obviously, Nathan MacKinnon should be the first click in those stacks, but don’t forget about Cale Makar as part of a power-play stack. If you are looking to get contrarian and fade the chalk, I think Tampa Bay makes for a really intriguing pivot; they get a really great matchup against a Blues team that struggles at even strength and on the penalty kill.
boggslite: I’m playing single entry tonight. Colorado is at home, where they have a huge advantage against an inconsistent Nashville team. Nathan MacKinnon will be a priority for me, as he is most nights, and I will likely look to pair him and his linemates with some of the cheap Kings forwards, who are also in a good matchup at home.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
