Keller has the extra year on his contract. That could be a swing piece in the choice.
Points only for next year alone I would roll with Guentzel though. So it depends where your target window is.
Chances are, in our up coming draft it looks like when it comes to my pick, all 3 of Keller, Aho, and Guentzel would be available for me to pick. All 3 are at a great salary, since our league is a salary keeper league. Which one should I go with?

Guentzel for this year and if you are in win now mode.
If you are building for 2+ years from now, Keller has the highest upside.
