Goalies:
- Pekka Rinne (Presumed starter.)
- Juuse Saros (Shiny new thing. Starter for the U20 gold team from this year, broke some rookie records in the Finnish league this season. Predators draft pick. Presumably groomed for future national team duties.)
- Mikko Koskinen (Similar story to Karri Rämö. 25 yrs, former Islanders draft pick, cup of coffee in the NHL, first season in Sibir Novosibirsk went great. Played on the EHT and played well, which I assume is what puts him ahead of Rämö.)

Okay thanks. I was hoping Rämö might get the third spot if Niemi wasn't going to come or something like that.
I think Finland will have a decent team. Always nice to watch some of the young players. Shame that Florida didn't let Barkov come, but at the same time I understand their position since Barkov has had three injuries within the past year.
