    Default Mackinnon vs. Tarasenko, long term value?

    These two have been discussed a few times, but I'm wondering how Tank's hot start and Mackinnon's seeming bounce back (6 points in 5 games) are affecting everyone's thinking.

    My league is the roto league in my signature. We keep 5 players from year to year, with no additional restrictions. I've kept Ovi and Tavares in this league for 6+ years now, so there's a strong chance whichever player I end up with will be with me for a good chunk of the guy's career. I try to prioritize long-term over short-term when I can, so I'm more interested in thoughts about years 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 then I am about years 1 and 2.

    The full story: I'm throwing a big offer at the Tarasenko owner, and the Mackinnon owner has already told me he'd send me Mackinnon straight up for Tarasenko if I'm able to pull it off.

    I have to admit I'm inclined to prefer Mackinnon. I love the first overall pedigree--it served me well with Tavares--and maybe more important, we don't distinguish between centers and wings in our league (just forwards and defensemen).

    Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    Mackinnom for me because of upside and age.
