Gallagher and Pacioretty represent the best winger value pairing of the night against the woeful Maple Leafs, though Gaudreau and Hudler are a close second; both are great choices for either cash game or GPP formats. Look to Baertschi for salary relief; he's expected to garner top-6 minutes to start the season. And don't expect much from the Toronto options.
