ristolainen was supposed to be a top 5 pick coming into the year, he scored 15 points in 52 games in pro. 6 points in 6 WJC games. Hes big mean and strong. In any other year other than this and the guy is a shoe-in top five pick. Best D prospect from Finland in as long as I can remember. To be honest I was shocked to see some of the names on the poll for Calgary's first pick, domi over Ristolainen, give me a break.
