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 small-field GPPs are my preferred format. There are more options that have a strong chance to be the top stack on this smallish slate than normal. I am going to build heavily into the Flames’ top 2 lines, with MacKenzie Weegar and Nazem Kadri as core pieces for me.

Joda: Large-field tournaments are my preferred format tonight. I believe lineups will concentrate around Calgary pieces mixed with Winnipeg’s top line, given their full correlation and pricing. However, St. Louis is the hottest team in the league, so I have some reservations. Edmonton is an interesting tournament target, as John Gibson is likely the popular goalie choice tonight. His price is too cheap, given that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are out, combined with the shot volume he faces on a nightly basis.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
