Yeah, I think that a player like Yelesin suffers in this kind of exercise. Most of us are looking at highlight packages, scouting reports and stat lines to make our choices. Defensive D men require real time viewing to appreciate what they bring to the table. It is the same reason why a guy like Poirier was ranked ahead of Kuvnetsov.
Yelesin will never be a sexy player, but what he will be is a legitimate option in your bottom two pairings. Especially if you are going to pair him with a mobile offensive type player.
