NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for Tuesday, September 29
Who is your favorite skater to spend up for in cash games?
Moneyball16: Connor McDavid
boggslite: Connor McDavid
Joda: Connor McDavid
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
Moneyball16: On DK, this is a small slate with only 4 games. The smaller the slate, the more I like stacking a goalie with his teams’ forwards. There will only be 4 goalies picking up a win, and if one of your stacks happens to succeed enough to give you a shot to win a tournament, then their goalie will likely be 1 of the 4 goalies with a win.
boggslite: While I would typically spread my exposure around on a balanced slate to open the year, I will be overweight on Edmonton, specifically the top power play. This team had a disappointing end to last season, and with a new head coach, I expect them to make a statement and start the season off right. I’ll differentiate my lineups with my secondary stacks and with my goalies in large tournaments.
Joda: Edmonton is the clear path for me, as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are our highest-projected skaters, and their price tags are not prohibitive for roster construction. On a small slate like this, taking 5+ skaters from Edmonton could be the path for victory, as it is expected to be a long season for Vancouver, one of the few teams that needs a top pick in the draft.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
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.
