Confirmed that Laine is not coming to the Worlds. He is still in NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

I mean I don't think anyone expected him to come considering his situation and how many games he missed. Kinda weird reporting by the team.
The NHL season is ending and we should expect some information in the upcoming weeks. I don't have high hopes considering the contract situations. I think Maccelli, Armia and Määttä are the likeliest players to join. Maybe Korpisalo. I don't expect Granlund to join and Haula is a mystery to me. Puljujärvi might join but he doesn't have a guaranteed spot on the team so he needs to impress in the camp.
The team is playing practice games against Sweden tomorrow and on Friday. They'll probably make some cuts next week so I think we get news on NHL players then the earliest.
Jere Lehtinen Iltalehdelle: Valtteri Filppula, Sami Vatanen, Teemu Hartikainen, Sakari Manninen ja Jussi Olkinuora eivät ole tänä keväänä Leijonien käytettävissä.
Harri Pesonen, Niko Ojamäki ja Ville Pokka eivät ole tänä keväänä Leijonien käytettävissä.
Bring in new blood. The aforementioned have fulfilled their duties already.

Oksanen - MiG - Puljujärvi
Innala - Kapanen - Luoto
Lammikko - Hyry - Nurmi
Mäenalanen - Björninen - Pakarinen
Lehtonen - Määttä
Rissanen - Saarijärvi
Riikola - Rindell

Larmi

I think Lammiko gets a call. Jalonen type. And Lehtonen ofc.
That would be the hardest working team in the entire WC. And 3 good goalies.

Í still want to see Helenius on the team, I think he'd bring a lot.
Well, since one of the moderators, in their infinite wisdom, decided to combine the other thread to the U18 thread, I say we'd simply be following their direction if we used that one instead.

I'm not saying he sucked, but he didn't do well enough to avoid getting cut.

Amazing turnaround. Nashville was about to go up three games to one. Canucks score twice with the goalie out for an extra player then win in OT.
Terrible for Saros nothing he Can do on this.
Hope he will come if Nashville gets eliminated
Nashville is on the way out and even if Dallas does take out Vegas they will play Colorado next round. Not to mention that Carolina more than likely will play the Rags in round two in the EC. Patience is a virtue-let's hope Jalonen/Lehtinen feel the same way.

I also read that Pajuniemi is out with an injury, while Vittasmaki is in. With Maccelli and Levtchi also out, the choices on the LW/RW top line is limited..
I wouldn't say Levtchi is "out", because he probably wasn't on Jalonen's wishlist to begin with.
Hintz is still a possibility, but if we work with what we're confirmed to have, the 1st line looks like either Innala or Puustinen on one wing, Granlund down the middle and a power forward on the other - I'm thinking Oksanen, Pakarinen or Pulju.
Why not Innala-Granlund-Puustinen, you might ask. Because that line would seriously lack size. All of them are less than six feet tall.
Which leaves the 2nd line with the other one of Innala/Puustinen on one wing, Kapanen/Suomela down the middle, and another power forward on the other. Nurmi is also an option.
While it's not exactly the greatest selection around, it's not a complete disaster as far as top-six goes. We've had better, but we've also had worse.
