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. For expensive stacks, I like getting to the Avalanche and Maple Leafs. If I can’t get to all of the expensive pieces of those stacks, I like pivoting to the Kraken and Sharks. That is my favorite game to shoot out, and both sides are priced very reasonably.
Hunter4ever89: I prefer large-field tournaments on this slate. While Toronto and Tampa Bay stick out as large favorites and have the highest implied goal totals, there are a lot of different ways this slate can go. The Montreal top line also sticks out because they remain underpriced for their matchup and recent production. With the end of the regular season being less than two weeks away, I expect minutes to be reduced with superstars, especially if games start to get out of hand. I will have a larger player pool than normal today, but I will look to be overweight on Montreal due to their price and motivation to win and keep a playoff spot.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
