The Flyers are getting calls on BOTH I am hearing…
So let’s look at these two defenseman…
In general…
Drysdale more offensive and agile, less NHL experience.
Risto more physical and defensive, more NHL experience.
When it comes to the stuff they aren’t known for who does that better…
I would say Risto is better offensively than Drysdal is defensively at this point
Upside….
Both have solid upside in my opinion…It’s a shame we didn’t see Risto in the 4Nations…I think that would have raised his stock…
Experience…
Drysdale 5th season
Age: 22
Stats in first 5 seasons…
GP:196
Pts: 13-51-64
-79
PIM:46
Ristolainen 12th season.
Age:30
Stats in last 5 seasons..
GP: 278
Pts: 14-63-77
-32
PIM: 128
Drysdale is obviously 8 years younger
Ristolainen is a late bloomer and his size and skill make him the more rare player type.
Who do you think is better?
What would you want in a trade for either…
My pick: Risto is better to keep. Right handed, Big D who can move the puck are way more rare…
