I personally went with Draisaitl. I like him more as a player, and think he's a harder worker than McDavid. Sure he can be pissy, and has attitude problems, but on that team with thart culture surrounding him I can kind of excuse his views. He plays on the edge, and can be dirty at times; but I respect those kind of players. He plays through injuries and is more of a battler.
With McDavid I just don't think he's a very likeable player. He's nothing like Crosby, Ovechkin, or Mackinnon. Connor seems to have a silver spoon attitude and feels that he's above everyone else and devoid of any criticism. Just look at the above as an example where even calling him "overrated" isn't tolerated. For the life of me I can't recall a moment where McDavid went above and beyond, or appeared likeable. Maybe that's just not his personality... but he just doesn't come off as personable and is almost robotic (grown in a lab).
Maybe I'm overthinking the question, yet when Drai is in Los Angeles and McDavid is playing for the Leafs we may have to consider this.

Let me help you here.
They both suck and deserve nothing
