For me it's still Crosby.
Kuch/Crosby/Burns
or
Kuch/Rantanen/Burns
Our league is expanding (from 8 to maybe a 10/12) so we're dropping to a keep 3. Also have Barkov and Landeskog.
Initially I was going with Crosby but the age factor has me unsure.
Our offensive cats: G A +/- PIM PPP SOG HIT
Thanks!

I have Barkov over Rantanen (helps that he has a contract). Also Barkov is only going to get better, along with his linemates.
Though Crosby had a damn good year, last season.
You only get to keep 3 and I want to say Barkov over Crosby. But he's not there yet.

Can you trade before the draft? If so, Crosby might still have more name value to some GMs and might yield a better return than Rantanen in a trade. For the same reason, if you CAN'T trade before the draft then I'd likely keep Crosby and hope Rantanen or Barkov falls and you can grab him too.

Why isn't Kuch/Rant/Crosby an option ?
Burns is currently they top D option... but how much longer?

Damn why'd you have to ask that??? I was trying to spread to different positions...and I'm a homer. Guess I never entertained not keeping Burns. Now I'm going to be debating between Rantanen and Barkov. Trading isn't an option right now, so keeping Crosby.
Unless I just go rogue and go all in on future and take Kuch/Rant/Barkov.
I prefer Kuch/Crosby/Burns. Keep 'em.
