Who would you take in a keeper draft? Crosby, Mackinnon, or Connor McDavid?

I would take Crosby. Still is great, he has proved himself as an 100 point scorer and is under 30.

Proven #1 player in the league vs. unproven good talent who we have no idea what may happen with him vs undrafted unproven not even nhl talent.

Why do you even ask?

Wait what? You take Sid no question.

Now if you asked Drouin, Eichel, McDavid or Nate... That makes it much tougher. But you take the clear number 1 player in the world.

Crosby = proven 100 pt player
MacKinnon = overhyped rookie who is really more of an 80-85 point player
McDavid = generational talent to the scouts, but 0 NHL games. has a chance of being a Crosby type but not worth the risk.

Crosby is still young enough where you can expect at least another 5 years at 100 pts, and probably 10 years of 70 points or more. Only in 5 years do I think MacKinnon or McDavid have even a chance of matching him, and if you're looking that far ahead I think you're putting too much emphasis on the future. Yes dynasty leagues are always about looking to get younger, but your priority at the beginning of a league should be getting guys entering/in their prime. Don't think it's wise to shoot yourself in the foot from day one. Nobody should begin a keeper league with a rebuilding agenda.
