Million Dollar Question: Keeper League. Today. Would you rather own Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid?
Welcome to part two of the extra special Cage Match celebrating Connor McDavid's all but inevitable selection – today! – as the first overall 2015 NHL draft pick, launching him on a path towards being the league's next superstar. If you haven't read part one (Part 1: Crosby (circa 2005 value) vs. McDavid (today) – click here) you should now, as it explained why 2015-16 McDavid will likely fall short of the output of 2005-06 Sidney Crosby.
But now it's time to shift to a question poolies likely care about even more, namely whether cost vs. value favors owning McDavid or present day Crosby – that is, whether it's better to have fresh faced but unproven McDavid on your fantasy team, or the now veteran Crosby. Part two of this epic Cage Match starts now!
