The Finns are looking like they could be a team that could be reckoned with. The team was announced earlier this week and they have a pretty good mix of veteran talent and some of the burgeoning young talent, which is set for a career in the NHL.14 of the 25 players listed down below have been drafted by an NHL team in their career, but obviously not all of them have been able to hit the ice for an NHL game yet. Miro Heiskanen was the 3rd overall pick in last year's entry draft, while Eeli Tolvanen was the 30th overall pick in that draft too, both coming in hot from a decent showing at the World Juniors. Heiskanen, a Dallas prospect, a good overall defenseman, while Tolvanen, Predators property, is going to shoot, shoot and shoot some more.
Between Mikko Koskinen and Karri Ramo, they should be well-endowed in net and since most of these players are playing with each other in Europe, they should find some chemistry fairly quickly. I wouldn't be sleeping on the Finns, I'd rather be looking at a few of these names for some good sleeper picks.
