You omitted the word "terribly" from your postI'll take the player that plays defence, Risto all day.

We’re not. We’re comparing Ristolainen to Rielly.Ristolainen and it's not even close. Why we are comparing one of the NHL better defenders to Rielly?
Better at driving posession with harder zone starts, higher expected goals, and can actually play defense.
Spoken like some one who hasn't spent a second watching either player. Embarrasing.I'll take the player that plays defence, Risto all day.

Rielly is much better defensively and it's not really close.Generally, Ristolainen's terrible defense would make me vote against him in most of these comparison polls.
However, here we have one player who has even worse defense. So this is Ristolainen due to his vastly superior offensive play.
One thing on Hf I've learned is that big D who score a lot no matter how porous defensively they are always get massively overrated. People see 6'4, 200+ lbs and 40+ pts and just assume the guy is a defensive stud.honestly shocked that Risto is winning the poll... Rielly is definitely the better Dman

Oh sorry I didn't know you were emotionally crushed by these polls.Oh just thought it was an ironic considering the Zaitsev vs Larsson poll where the opposite is generally being touted. Leaf logic.
