Armia is a lock for a checking line. Hintz makes it over guys like Kakko or Kirivanta. Most of the d-men are playing on the wrong side. Vatanen is garbage. They'll bring a shutdown guy like Hakanpaa over him. Valimaki over Heinola. Saros should be the starter not 3rd string.

Henola is good enough for team Finland but according to Maurice he isn't ready for the Jets.

Eklund has never been wrong. Just ask him. He knows the game. He might not be able to spell unusual last names like "Smith" or "Johnson" but that is due to dyslexia. Ek knows the game inside and out. And even if you don't like what he has to say, his sources are real independent insiders.

Solid up front, good 1st pair D and it’s gotta be Saros in goal. No uncle Leo?

The ironic thing is that Roope Hintz is actually younger than Kirivanta. So this whole theme about young talent and then you have 2 teammates for Dallas...and the older, less proven guy gets picked over the guy who just finished 3rd on team scoring with over a point per game.

Henri Jokiharju is a better d-man than several on the list and has played regularly on the national team.

Don't be surprised if there's national team veterans that don't play in the NHL. Happens every tournament.

Yeah Jokiharju will be there. Maybe Hakanpaa. Probably one of Risto or Vatanen left off.

They'll probably give a very young player like Aatu Raty a shot, even if he rides pine the whole time.

Come on Ek. The lack of Hintz on this list demonstrates a serious lack of hockey knowledge.
