Everyone does and it’s a legitimate strategy. The d one timers isn’t much of a thing anymore.
Not to mention there seems to be a lack of good RD
I had Pietrangelo, Subban and Bourque playing off hand because there's straight up no other good options. Karlsson is too expensive for a guy who can't hit the net, Burns is slow as a snail, as is that icon Rob Blake. the classic Subban also has too many downsides to be worth upwards of 80k
As for my squad battles rewards, i got TOTW Voracek and Wheeler out of the same pack
I'm pretty happy with my team rn.
Marner/Oates/Kucherov (out of a free pack i got out of a hockey bag incredibly)
Robitallie/Brind'Amour/Fleury
MacKinnon (silver reroll pack)/Bergeron/Shanahan
Marchand/Peca/Draisatl
Bourque/PT Ekblad
Hedman/Doughty
Josi/Pietrangelo
Hextall
Bobrovsky
Marner is so good it's not even funny. Got him out of one of my preorder packs and he's probably been my most clutch player. Robitallie is also great if you can roll the dice and get him out of the icon collectible set (probably one of the only players worth getting out of the 85s, so roll at your own risk)
