Heiskanen, because he's better.

Heiskanen. This poll makes a bit more sense to me than the previous ones with the former mentioned.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Weird poll.

Edit: Actually, not weird. You're a Dallas fan and they've had a terrible start so you're looking for reassurance in some form. Carry on.

 

[Yasuo]

Small victory for Dallas fans I guess....

 

[Dirty Dog]

Polak vs Ristolainen would be far more fair. It’s pretty hard to find a player as bad as Risto though so having him in any poll is a waste of time.

lol yea ok

Ristolainen AINEC.

He has out-pointed Heisk every year they have both been in the league.

 

[Kcb12345]

Klingberg vs Ristolainen is a closer and better poll than this one

 

[TeddyBare]

Ristolainen can't defend.
You expect offensive d-men to give something back 5v5 with the chances they create, but ristolainen gives back an absolute $&^% load.

Why does this poll exist? this is one of the very rare times where AINEC actually applies

This is what everybody ask themselves in the dahlin thread.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Who'd you have the argument with that claimed Risto was better?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Ristolainen AINEC.

He has out-pointed Heisk every year they have both been in the league.

People pick Dahlin for this reason.

 

[NotLeddy]

Heisk is so much better than Risto

 

[M88K]

This is what everybody ask themselves in the dahlin thread.

Yeah and there it doesn't apply, but i'm not getting into that whole debate again

 

[JoVel]

Heiskanen because he's like 13 bazillion times better and the gap is only getting bigger as each day passes.

 

[tsujimoto74]

What on earth is the point of this poll? Up next: Which American center would you rather have, Jack Eichel or Colin White?

 

[Machinehead]

This is like asking me if I want to eat a pepperoni pizza or the box in came in.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I picked Risto because I knew what the result would be and wanted to be different.

Risto isn't as bad as some claim, hopefully an actual coach can help him with his weaknesses- but dude, it's still not close. I like Risto, he's still young, and he could actually bloom into an absolute beast, but that's like less than a 10% chance. Heiskanen is already sick.

Polak vs Ristolainen would be far more fair. It’s pretty hard to find a player as bad as Risto though so having him in any poll is a waste of time.

Meh. He's a good player with certain glaring weaknesses. A consistent 40-point scorer that blocks a ton of shots and hits everything that moves. Heiskanen is on another level, but Ristolainen gets bashed way too harshly by some for what he is not instead of recognizing what he is.

The guy who is more than a #4/5 PP specialist

He hits everything and blocks shots because he never has the puck at 5v5 lol. It's not a good thing

Depends who makes the pizza. The box might be preferable in some cases.
