The Finns have a really nice squad, including:
Former NHL players:
Ville Peltonen
Lasse Kukkonen
Ossi Väänänen
Janne Pesonen

and I also like:
Janne Niskala
Jarkko Immonen
Niko Kapanen
Antti Pihlström
Leo Komarov
Toni Salmelainen

But I have no clue if the goalies are competitive or not. If someone has a opionion about them, let me know.

(I'm missing: Janne Niiimaa...)
