I'm in a keeper league and I have 3rd overall pick. The draft is in a few weeks so I gotta figure out who I'm gonna take with that pick and then I also have the 8th overall pick which is nice. Like many keeper leagues the FA's are of course the guys that are dropped plus newly drafted rookies. At the end of the draft all teams must have 18 players, any amount of D or forwards. there are no goalies and only points count. So here is my team:

PIT Evgeni Malkin
WSH Nicklas Backstrom
SJS Patrick Marleau
CHI Patrick Sharp
SJS Logan Couture
STL Alex Pietrangelo
PHX Mike Ribeiro
OTT Milan Michalek
CHI Duncan Keith
WPG Dustin Byfuglien

I really like Stephen Weiss now on the Red Wings, and I'm thinking of taking him at some point. I'm wondering if I should take Drouin with the 3rd pick because apparently the guy with the 1st pick wants Kadri and the 2nd guy wants either Mackinnon or Drouin but I heard Drouin hasn't been guaranteed a spot yet on the Lightning's roster. Any help would be nice, thanks a lot guys!

If Drouin is available, take him. He'll be playing with TB this year as you've stated, and may start the season with MSL and Stamkos. He has 90+pt potential by his 4th year.

I'd even say Drouin > MacKinnon in a purely point league.
