Ristolainen vs Hamilton
For the stats below. Which one would you prefer?
Last season: Hamilton - 81GP / 296.4 FPts / 3.66 FP/G
Ristolainen - 79GP / 311.3 FPts / 3.94 FP/G
Overall pretty close (more goals/shots for Hamilton, more PP points/hits/blocks for Risto), which one will have a better situation to repeat or improve from last season?
Thanks!

Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
I can see both of them improve this year.
Risto - as mentioned above, the young Buffalo team will improve and score more and Risto will play a tonne.
Hamilton - Giordano is getting older and Hamilton will steal some minutes and I expect Gaudreau to be better and therfore Calgary will score more!
If I have to choose one... Risto.
Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
Ristolainen. His peripherals are stronger, which gives a better baseline over which scoring production can surge. I'd expect Risto's overall icetime numbers to creep down, but he'll still the only QB option in Buffalo so he'll have all the opportunity he can handle. Hamilton has others to compete against with Giordano and Brodie in the short term (especially if Calgary plays a 4F-1D PP) and there are good PPQB prospects in the Calgary pipeline.
Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
I keep wanting to say Risto, but if I'm not mistaken I think Rizzee did a piece on these two and Hamilton came out ahead?

It was Klingberg/Hamilton.Originally Posted by lucafen4
I'd want Risto over both.
Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
not "soon to be". they had the top PP in the league last season. but to your point, their PP will only get better. now, if only they could learn to score at even strength...
Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
not surprised I figured it was WSH, when I see them on TV time to time visiting my pops upstate their PP1 in Buffalo is terrifying.

Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
and it will only get better if nylander turns into a stud and if reinhart improves.
Re: Ristolainen vs Hamilton
Nylander will be gross, his skill is obscene and he has his father's vision.
