Liiga doesn't have too many foreigners, but a too high of a percentage of them are average players, taking ice time from Finnish players.Liiga's level has very little to do with undrafted prospects since few of them play at that level. A bigger issue is too many foreigners and not enough playing time for young players, Lukko is a good example of that.
There absolutely are far too many teams in the junior leagues, thankfully this year there have been a couple less teams in both U16 and U20 league. As age groups get smaller making the leagues smaller has to be the focus in the future as well.
