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 formats. I don’t think this slate will be very high-scoring. We don’t have many of the top-tier offensive talents, so I will lean more heavily into correlation/stacking. Detroit and Vegas are my two favorite teams if I am looking to pay up. Carolina, especially the 2nd line, is my favorite overall team and line when looking for salary relief.
boggslite: Single entry is my preferred format tonight. Vegas is dealing with some injuries and illness, making Winnipeg my top team to target. The top line of Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and Gabriel Vilardi is one of the most consistent lines in the league and produces a large percentage of their team’s scoring. I think there is upside in some of the cheap goalies, but Connor Hellebuyck is very appealing at his price tag and will be a tough fade for me.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
