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: My preferred tournament format is single-entry and 3-max contests. I am looking to stack Edmonton and Vegas on this small 4-game slate. I might take some one-offs from Toronto, but that might be the higher-owned team that I completely fade.

boggslite: Large-field tournaments – Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are the top targets to build around, and I expect them to be fired up and ready to start the year on a positive note at home in a rivalry game. Toronto is my top pivot, followed by Vegas.
