The Sharks play the Islanders tonight.
I don’t like it.
Sharks are CHEAP.
I still don’t like it.
Islanders are CHEAPER.
I really don’t like it.
Sharks Goalie is CHEAP.
This whole thing is awful.
The only good thing here is that this game is half an hour after lock so at least you can plan your night early.
I think people will be flocking to both sides of this game.
Not for me. Just pretend it doesn’t exist and save yourself the aggravation.
Slate Specific Thoughts:
Option A – Top 7 from each full line (7 from each of FL1, FL2, FL3)
Option B: Top 20 lines by median projection.
Typically getting these lines from Daily Faceoff but there are some updates that haven’t hit their website yet.
Matt Barzal is in in place of Oliver Wahlstrom, who isn’t playing. That’s a big upgrade on that line. The ownership is gonna reflect that too.
Also, Alex Killorn is on ANA 1 rather than Vatrano, Vatrano is on ANA 2 with Silfverberg and Strome. Makes ANA 1 cheaper but also makes them worse. So included a solid Nashville 1 line here as well.
Avalanche lines are gonna be a mess tonight. Nichuskin is “likely” – he is “under the weather”. Tatar is out. Cogliano is out. Makar is doubtful. And new rookie Oskar Olausson will draw in somewhere.
If you are playing the Avs keep your eyes peeled on warmups.
I think the LAK 3 line is my favourite third line out of this bunch. Maybe some CGY 3 as well.
Defencemen
Ottawa lost Thomas Chabot to injury so Jake Sanderson is on PP1 – however, I like Chychrun more so included him here even though he is listed as PP2. Devon Toews at $4400 is going to be hugely owned with Makar out. Adam Fox is a steal at $5500.
Goalie
With the Islanders so so cheap, you know what you have to do, even though no one wants to do it. Plug your nose and play Kaapo Kahkonen at $7000?? Yuck. Also, noticed here that Dostal is listed as the ducks goalie but it is actually Gibson for $6900. Ideally let your optimizer just pick a goalie and pray.
Good luck out there and hit up discord with any questions!
