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 formats. I think I will be making a reluctant fade of the Maple Leafs due to pricing and matchup. I will want to get exposure to skaters against Chicago. The top line for Ottawa really sticks out. They will be popular, but I will try to get different elsewhere on my primary team to differentiate. I like some of the value for the Rangers and Canucks for low-priced one-offs or as cheaper filler lines.

boggslite: Large-field tournaments – I plan to be overweight on Ottawa’s top line as they draw a juicy matchup against the league’s worst team in the Blackhawks. As the 2nd-highest-priced line, OTT1 won’t be as easy to jam in as we are used to seeing, but there are some decent punt options to make it work, and I believe they are worthy of their steep prices on tonight’s slate.

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