That's a tough call, but I think I might risk it. Maybe try to sell Tkachuk for a good pick? I think Puljujarvi's ceiling is probably quite a bit higher.
In my 10 keepers league I'm having an issue with Puuljujarvi, he's my 11th player, my keepers as of today are;
Eichel
Seguin
Tavares
Kessel
Tkachuk
Ekman-Larsson
Werenski
Letang
Andersen
Murray
Do I take the chance of keeping him instead of Tkachuk?
It's a point only league with salary cap at 80M$...

I would stick with Tkachuk. And if you're in a multicat league, he's got an ingredient your team needs. You might be costing some upside with Puljujarvi but you can still probably find players of his promise in your draft or on the market. I'd just bank the points and truculence of Tkachuk for now.

Actually I have the 2nd overall pick in the regular draft and I'll pick Keller with it. My reserve bank of player I just drafted includes; Patrick, Yamamoto, Heiskanen, Tolvanen, Hagues and Oettinger. So I think I might have a good player or two in there...
It's a points only league by the way...
Goals-assists= 1 point
Goalie win= 2 points
Goalie shootout= 3 points
That's it
Maybe taking the chance to drop it and pick it not to far in the regular draft could be a decent option. We just started the rookie drafting this season, so he would be in my regular roster. Because of that, I don't think that he will go early in the draft in September...

I'd keep Puljujarvi. Especially since it's a points only league. Even in a multi-cat I'd likely keep him over Tkatchuk as well though.
Maybe even trade Tkachuk paired with a late pick for an early pick, let's say 10th round for a 4th round since we have at least 2-3 guys who need desperately low cap hit players... What do you think about it?

You looking to win this year? Tkachuk will put point Keller this season but may get over taken as soon as the season after so depends on goal... Also depends what you can get for Tkachuk IMO
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I was offered Kuscherov for him.

In a cap league, I would probably pass on Kuznetsov for Tkachuk.
To answer your OP, I'd keep Puljujarvi over Tkachuk in a points only league. That being said, I do not think Puljujarvi will outproduce Tkachuk this season. Long term, I believe he will be worth holding on to.

He came back with another offer loll.

must say that it's a snake draft. He finished 3rd and I finished just ahead of the last.

Again, he's trying to dump another big ass contract on you for an ELC contract.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Exactly!! It's a no no! He didn't tought about the salary cap until Saturday during our rookie draft. With his 10 keepers, he's at 60M$ only 20M$ left for 10 players and he chose Suzuki, Anderson-Dolan and Strome as for rookies, so he's screwed for the next season lollll
