An excerpt from Habsworld.com (Matt Godbout)

HW: In your mind, what’s your biggest asset?

Kristo: I’d have to say, my foot speed and skating are my strengths right now.

HW: You said at the draft that you liked Rocket Richard growing up, any reason why?

Kristo: It’s hard to like a player based on old footage, but I loved the way he played back then. You could tell he was a unique player out there (on the ice), even in the grainy game films.

HW: What NHL player do you pattern your game after or try to play like, why?

Kristo: People tend to compare me to Mike Fischer, but I try to play like Mike Richards. He’s has a good work ethic, he’s a great two way player, plays the PK, and led his team in scoring. That’s the player I want to be.
