Ristolainen is not even top 10 NHL defender for Finland. 😀

good list, but i would make couple changes. Ristolainen / Laine isn't top 10 players right now. Lundell / Lehkonen / Luostarinen had very good seasons, and their 2 way game is very good. In my option Välimäki (arizona/utah) is now better defenseman than Ristolainen. But these are only my options :)

Matias Maccelli, he's a very humble, mature and will be a future star. Not many merits, but one of the best Finnish players right now.

Maccelli? Easily my favourite finnish player and so underrated because he plays in Arizona/Utah. If he played for a bigger franchise he would be deemed as a much better player.
I would say Rantanen 1. Barkov 2. Both are very good, but not many who can score +100 point every season so that way i say Rantanen 1st.

Nope. Barkov is the more complete player. Under a different system he could break 100, too, but that's not his role.
@SamiJuntunen16 ай бұрын
Barkov has been constant even with not so good wingmans. Also he is the best at defence.

Difference is that Barkov is "carrying" his line and Rantanen gets to play with MacKinnon Even tho he was producing when Mac was injured
