The Defenseman split his first year in North America with Buffalo and Rochester of the AHL, and two years later, he was the top blueliner on the Sabres. Ristotainen used his size (6' 4") to lock down the opposition, but he also ran the point well, scoring 40 Points four years in a row (2015-16 to 2018-19).
Still a Sabre, Ristolainen has a lot left to offer, though one has to wonder how long he will stay with the woeful team.
