It seems that Heponiemi is going to play RW, he wants to divide the star players to two separate lines,
so my forward lines would be something like these (obviously i don't know who gets cut and who are in)

1. Killinen-Kupari-Heponiemi
2. Tolvanen-Lundell-Kakko
3. Nyman-Talvitie-Ylönen
4. Puustinen-Virtanen-Ranta

Killinen? He isn't even in the camp.

Anton Lundell is 2001 born Center and he plays in HIFK's liiga team.
Lundell is late birthday and he'll be one of top center prospects available in 2020 draft.

Lundell isn't Lafreniere's challenger of 1st overall pick but he projects at least TOP5- TOP10 pick.
Anton was one underage player in Finland's U18 WJC gold medal winning team earlier this year in Russia.

He also is 2nd generation hockey player his father Jan Lundell was SM liiga goalie and played in HIFK.
As player Anton is playmaking center but he can score goals too.

Lundell's best asset is his hockey IQ which is really good he's also really calm under pressure.
Lundell also has excellent work ethic and he comes to help the defense

Lundell has a very good frame and while he obviously needs to gain more muscle.
His skill level also helps him greatly in tight spaces.

He is not the kind of player who constantly makes flashy moves, but his excellent hands helps him protect the puck and he is able to give excellent passes.
Lundell also likes to utilize his shot a lot.

There’s no major flaws in Lundell’s game and he is a very responsible player that the coach can rely on in every situation.

Lundell is an extremely smart player who plays an active game away from the puck and rarely gets caught out of his position.
He’s also a solid, quick skater who plays at a high pace.
This, along with his compete level and skill set, makes him a factor in every game situation.
His overall skill set is already really strong, but he still has a lot of room for development. The upside is high with this prospect

Normally when someone asks about a player, what's he like and such, they expect personal insights from other fans who have seen him, since I'm sure they can google prospect reviews just as anyone. Here you copy/pasted a scouting report piece by piece. That's fine, but when you do that, the least you can do in respect to the author is to at least provide the source which in this case is:

Killinen? Kiddings? Killinen is not in a camp even. Ranta is not useful in a fourth line.

If I can decide...

Heponiemi - Kupari - Nyman
Tolvanen - Lundell - Kakko
Talvitie - Virtanen - Ylonen
Moilanen - Vainionpää - Engberg/Puustinen

And what comes to Otto Latvala. Pls stop. Do u ever seen him playing? He is worst defender of them all.

Tolvanen-Lundell-Kakko
Nyman-Talvitie-Ylönen
Klemetti-Virtanen-Ranta
 
In regards to Kotkaniemi, he's one of the guys where the club specifically made a statement that he would not be released. We've known this for a couple of weeks. No mystery there. On the other hand, Nashville has said NOTHING about Tolvanen either way. I find that kind of bothersome.
 
The last guy could be Matias Maccelli the half Finnish half Italian
or Marcus Kallionkieli, the half Finnish half Brazilian.

Kallionkieli is the bigger one (almost 6 foot 2)
but i think Maccelli is the better one,err...better option (at the moment)

Thinks its Vaakanainen, Göran stubb (finnish scout) thinks so aswell.

I'd rather have another forward thou, I'd take Vaakanainen in a heart bit,
but i don't see the absolute need for Vaakanainen at this tournament, even if he was a tremendous help,
i think either of those 2 forwards would help, could/would add additional scoring, we have a solid D at these games
especially with Jokiharju joining.

I think we have enough forwards that can score, and i don't see Maccelli or Kallionkieli making such a big impact on this team. I'd take Vaakanainen.

Don't be silly. Vaakanainen would be a huge addition to this team, even though they may already have the best D in the tournament in Jokiharju. You can never be too deep on defense. Finns should be a tough team to beat again this year.
