Heiskanen or McAvoy?

[PrairieDog]

Dynasty H2H points, weekly lineups. 7F, 4D, 1G (plus a deep farm)
F scoring: G(5), A(3), STP (+2), +/- (1)
D scoring: G(7), A(5), STP (+3), +/- (1)

Dynasty league dispersal draft going on and I'm on deck - should have the choice between Heiskanen and McAvoy. Pietrangelo could be there too but I'm leaning towards youth (my team is stacked, and D is premium).

There are forwards available (Horvat and Kopitar the only ones worth mentioning) but dmen get higher points for G/A/STP, and I am very deep at F.

So if you could choose between McAvoy and Heiskanen (or Pietrangelo) who would you go with? I am leaniing towards McAvoy simply because we've seen what he can do, and he performed well for a 20-yr old (safer pick). But Heiskanen is so highly touted.

I would go with McAvoy because:

A. We've seen what he can do at the NHL level, so there's 0% risk
B. He will be the B's #1D in all situations
C. I think Klingberg is a bigger roadblock than Krug

That said, Heiskanen is a blue chip stud. But why not go with the sure thing in McAvoy?
I think they both have 50-55 potential, but I love what I've seen from Cholly.

[DusterDave]

McAvoy for me.

[Benning and the Jets]

McAvoy by a lot, atm anyways.

I would lean towards MaAvoy because he's the whole package. He doesn't have a lot weaknesses and most importantly, he is CONSISTENT.

I go McAvoy here as well. I don't know a whole lot about Heiskanen but I remember reading on HF that his offensive ceiling what somewhat limited.

i dont think McAvoy will pass Krug for PP time but i still would choose him here

This. Go with McAvoy.

Another vote for McAvoy. Heiskanen might end up being the better one in a few years, but even by the time that happens, McAvoy won't be far enough behind that it's worth that risk.

A bird in the hand...

I think this is a case of fantasy vs real world. In fantasy, mcavoy will be a stud. Real world, heiskanen might wind up better.

[BranDOOM]

McAvoy. No sense waiting when you have talent that's already putting up points in the nhl. I wouldn't be surprised if he took over PP1 as early as next year.

[Starvin Marvin]

McAvoy for me. I like his peripherals and he's proven on a solid team.

[Clinkers]

McAvoy but the separation is not that big IMO.

[Call of Doughty]

12 votes for McAvoy and I'll make it 13. Nothing wrong with Piets either.

[ericdaoust]

McAvoy wins.
