He said they had Puljujarvi, Tkachuk, and Dubois all in the 2nd tier. Slightly behind Matthews and Laine, but way ahead of the rest of the forwards in the draft.

I find that hard to buy given how Tkachuk's scoring repertoire is a lot more varied with tips and garbage goals to go with his wrister and one-timer whereas Puljujarvi's repertoire is more classic sniping which doesn't tend to work on NHL goalies.
I would have thought it the opposite, Puljujarvi would put up more points, Tkachuk more goals.
