I'm tempted to go Burns or Buff. Really just personal preference with those kind of options though.
I am trying to figure out who my second keeper is for next year. As it is a keep 2, I am mostly concerned with production this upcoming season rather than future potential (although I would prefer both lol)
My first keeper is Kucherov. The options for my second keeper are:
Burns
Hall
Wheeler
Byfuglien
Alternative: Players that other teams have confirmed are on the trade block (in return for a draft pick):
Marchand
Mackinnon
Benn

Due to age and his reigning MVP status I have to go with hall
Burns is a beast from the back end with those SOG.

He is a beast and has been my keeper for the past few years. My worry with him is that he seemed to be a lot streakier this past year and is about that age where the big physical guys seem to decline. I keep going back and forth with him and Hall. Hall has concerns as well (LW isn't as valuable as D; coming off his best year ever; high shooting percentage last year; etc..)

Can you trade one or more of those players for a pick to someone else and then make a trade to get MacKinnon? MacKinnon shouldn't be on the block, so if you swoop in and get him, that'd be the best option.
Burns or Byfuglien most definitely. A lot comes down to personal preference, whether you want a SOG stud (Burns) or a PIM stud (Buff). I'd probably go with Burns, as his perceived value is probably a tad higher.

I'd keep Hall. LW is the thinnest position for elite talent. And he's elite!
I wouldn't give up a pick in a keep 2 for Mack - the difference between your options and him aren't worth the value of that pick for the small upgrade.
