Seguin or MacK for me.
Its close but i chose them because Seg is pretty reliable, good track record and MacK is found beast mode.
Longer term i might go with Eichel.
I?m in a keep 2 league... McDavid is the obvious number one keeper. But for number 2 I have a couple options after acquiring seguin.
Seguin
Mackinnon
Eichel
Hall
Draisaitl
what?s everyone thinking and why? I?m struggling here I really wish I could keep 3 or 4 lol

I'm not sure there is a wrong decision between Eichel, mack, and Seguin.
I lean towards mack because I've always believed he'd be elite and he's showing it this year. May never look back. That said if you can move any of the three to help you now or in the future I'd be happy keeping any of them with McDavid.
Team McMack has a nice ring to it.

Seguin for me. Obviously you are going to hate losing guys like Eichel and MacKinnon but Seguin is the more proven asset and still in his prime years for a few more at the very least.

I'd keep Seguin. Most consistent of your other options. Any of them could end up with the most points in any given year, but I'm most confident in Seguins floor. All their upsides are about the same.
Good problem to have.
Because of the PPPs I might lean a touch towards Seguin, but you can't go wrong with any of Seguin/Eichel/Mack.

I love how Hall, and to a lesser degree LD get ignored lol. I'm saying less degree because Hall is better than LD. Hall and Seguin are very close in age, and Hall is having a better year, plus Seguin has had injuries before too. Everyone puts the injury prone label on Hall, but he missed 10 games last year, 0 the year before that, and has missed 2 so far this year (knock on wood). His injuries were more frequent a few years ago. I get that it's a keep 2, but a case can be made for each guy. LD is at the bottom for me though, there are just more question marks around his usage.
No love for Hall around these parts, 45 pts in 41 games.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Hall has a better points per game average in his career than Seguin, and is better so far this year. Seguin has settled into that 70-75 pt range, which is solid but Hall is on pace for 88 in 80. I realize Hall's higher average is probably due to Seguin taking longer to be more impactful, and Seguin has been better in recent years, but as of right now I lean toward Hall.

LD is clearly below both Seguin and Hall. Aside from people seeing Hall as injury prone still, what would stop Hall from continuing on the way he is? He's in his prime, and Jersey is improving. They are in the Top 10 in goals for. Seguin has averaged 18 ppp per year, and Hall 14, so I think if Hall continues to produce the way he is this year on the pp, there is little to no difference between the 2.
Seguin has been over a point per game in 3 different seasons, vs Hall who has been over a point per game in 3 (1 of which is this season), so we'll see if that lasts. Just want to add, Seguin played 80, 71 and 72 in the 3 seasons he's been over a ppg, vs Hall played 75 and 45 (lockout shortened season) in 2 seasons previous to this he's been over a ppg. He's on pace for 80 gp this year. I guess you're right that Seguin is safer, until we see whether Hall can keep this up, but just want to note that Hall has been really impressive this year, so he deserves mentioning.
It's kind of weird, because just in looking at there career stats, like year by year, you would think Seguin had a better points per game average, but Seguin is at 0.845, and Hall is at 0.862. Seguin has played 60 more games, but his rookie year dragged him down quite a bit (0.297 ppg) vs Hall 0.646 ppg.
