Our head couch said that he will choose 1-5 players from Europe so I think our olympic team will be accounted after Rosno Cup, Russia (Dec 15-18.)

Canada will shorten the list before then.

Not sure if that means reduce from 81 or name half the team?

There won't be more than 2 non-NHLers in finnish team and I wouldn't be surprised if all players came from NHL.

Karalahti is competing for the 7th d-man spot and all forward lines are about full, Peltonen might be in the running for 2nd line winger spot (though I wouldn't want hm there)


Selänne-Koivu-Lehtinen
T.Ruutu-O.Jokinen-J.Jokinen/S.Kapanen
Laaksonen-N.Kapanen-Miettinen
J.Ruutu-M.Koivu-Nieminen

Btw, Koivus, Ruutus, Jokinens and Kapanens have almost 3 of the lines covered...=)
