Puljujarvi, for me. (Might not win over these guys this or next year... but eventually)
I have faith that he'll be a long-term top six wing for EDM.... which will be akin to the solid wingers that have had time with Sid & Geno in PIT.
Points only keeper league.
Who should I keep? Puljujarvi, A. Nylander or V. Rask ?
Thank you

Pujuj for me too. It is Rask's magical fourth year, but last season he didn't do enough to convince me he'll ever be elite, while Pujuj still has that hope, plus is on a team that could be a superpower as soon as this season.

I'm going to say Rask....as Rizz said its his 4th year and he's the only one of the three guaranteed a roster spot and probably top 6. Nylander probably won't be in the NHL and Puljujarvi is not a lock either. Talent + opportunity right? That's Rask for sure.
Edit: just noted the Keeper part. I'm guessing this is a dynasty keeper? limited? Either way, Nylander is a few years away and Puljujarvi has yet to show anything at the NHL level. 3 or 4 years from now maybe...but I'm still going to say Rask.

Pulj is definitely the option here long term. he didnt hit the ground running as most thought he would but he is still an elite talent, other 2 are ok but not in same class talent wise.
if you want safe guy that produced now would be rask, but your consitant scorrign is capped at 55 at most imo
Puljujarvi would be my pick. We are spoiled these days with the quick fantasy impact prospects and forget that sometimes they need some time to grow.
Puljujarvi still learning the language and adapting to the smaller ice. Looks pretty solid and development in the AHL. He has all the tools to become and fantasy impact player, thus I would to keep him.
Rask will be number 2 for me. Rask is a solid but I think he'll end up a stronger real life player rather then fantasy impact.
But Who knows they are set for a upgrade this season but I don't see him over 55 at most. Guessimate under 50pts usually.

Rask will likely produce the best point totals this season but I think Puljujarvi will be the best option after that. If you don't mind losing some points this season, go with Puljujarvi because his upside is much higher than Rask's. I don't see any reason to even consider Alex Nylander here (not saying he's bad, he just doesn't offer better "now" or better "future").
