71 RW Leo Komarov

Komarov is one of my favorite players, but I still find it mysterious that the Leafs haven't traded him. I don't think they are interested in rebuilding any more.

Finland is always a pain to play against. They play a perfect team game depending on their personnel.

About 99%

They've pretty much got him pencilled in to play on a 2nd/3rd line of

That could be the greatest defensive line in hockey. But can they score enough to make it worth it?

Finns regularly finish above the team ranking on paper. Still excited to see what they can do

One would hope, but that's the question about the entire damn team.

Tremendous defensive forwards and a great young D corps but is there enough offense to offset the goals that Ward and Lack are going to give up?

THey're going to need guys like Ryan Murphy, Noah Hanifin and Shot Suppression Dynamo Jaccob Slavin to step up and provide a lot of offense from the back-end with some aggressive play.

The Canes are one of the more exciting young teams around, I look forward to them making some good strides this year. I don't think the Playoffs are likely, but they aren't impossible.

Need a goaltender and another weapon on offense.

They'll be fun, and have one of the best coaching staff's in the league, but I agree they're another year away.

Expect them to be a playoff team next season.

Kind of.

There's like three 2nd/3rd lines, really.

Rasmus Ristolainen is just as good if not better than Trouba, Murray, and Rielly

Offensively sure, but I'd rank him 4th on that list.

I think you've got Finland mixed up with Iceland (regarding the government).

Not with any other country either based on their immigration politics.
