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?

Moneyball16: Large-field GPPs – With staggered start times and only 1 game starting when the slate begins, this is a day to be in the Rotogrinders NHL Discord to make sure you’re set when it comes to news. This is especially the case because the Ducks are seemingly in the best spot with a high total and cheap prices at home vs. an injured and unmotivated Rangers team at the end of the night but could potentially have Troy Terry or Chris Kreider coming back from injuries.

Joda: Large-field GPPs – As Moneyball says, there are some key injuries to monitor with the Anaheim Ducks, as they are loaded with value against the reeling Rangers. Vegas is my favorite team on the slate, as I have no faith in the Flyers’ disastrous goaltending tandem of Samuel Ersson and Alexei Kolosov. The Flyers have allowed 7, 5, 5, 6, and 6 goals in their last 5 games. I like sticking to Vegas’ top 6 and leaving roster spots open for the last 2 games of the night, making any adjustments during warmups.

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