I think I would rather the Tavares side.
10-team, keep 8, points only.
Would you trade Tavares and the first overall pick in the prospect draft (Lafreniere) for Pastrnak?

I usually side with 'take the best player in the deal' (Pasta) and usually don't look too far ahead but in this case I will.
Bergeron and Marchand don't have too many years left and Boston will have to rebuild. Tavares will have at least 3-4 more good years on the Leafs and Lafreniere is going to be a stud on a decent team.
I'll take the Tavares / Laf side here.
JT/laffy for me too. This could be an elite for a potential elite + an elite or almost elite tavares. If that pick wasn't laffy but was a later 1st then maybe that would be a toss up or even side towards pasta.
If you look at as a 2-for-2, it’s Tavares and Lafreniere, for Pastrnak AND whichever of your keepers that you can no longer keep. I’m not saying it’s a bad deal, but let’s say your #8 keeper is Bjorkstrand or Hamilton or Erik Karlsson. (Those would be my 3 choices to cut in MY keep-8...). I think I’d still do this, but for sure look at the unintended consequences.

12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.
Stutzle, Sergachev
Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright

I'd be curious to know who your other keepers are and if Lafreniere can push any of them out of your situation.

I was fully expecting everyone else to take the Pasta side because he's right now the best player, and a top guy in the league that's near impossible to acquire otherwise.
Some more details on the situation would be helpful.

I prefer Tavares and Lafreniere over Pasta unless it's a cap league with actual NHL salaries. Pasta's salary would be worth acquiring in that type of league.
