    Default Who to take at 5 in a Cap league?

    Starting a new keeper cap league. Cap is 103. Cats are G, A, PTS, Pim, PPG, PPP, SHG, SHP, GWG, Shots, Hits, Blocks.

    Is McDavid a no brainer if he is there at 5? Even with the 12.5 hit to the cap? Or should I go after someone like Svechnikov with a much better contract? This is my first time in a cap league.

    I take McDavid 4th after MacK, Drai, and Pasta. If they're all gone then probably Huberdeau.

    I'm taking Zib if none of the top 4 are avail, but it's close. Mackinnon/Pasternak/Draisaitl/McDavid/Zibanejad. Only reason I see Huberdeau to be a better pick is if you value that 3rd year. That said, I like to treat new leagues as single season leagues.

    I take McDavid at 1 so he's a no brain decision at 5.

    The short and simple answer is yes. As someone who just completed an inaugural draft in a cap league, you'll find bargains in the draft in the mid and later rounds.

    Personally I would have taken Eichel, but you still got a solid player at 5.

    I was thinking Eichel. I can maybe pony up for a guy like Marner in Round 2 now though.

    Not saying your pick was bad, more voicing my opinion on who I would have taken.
