I've been taking a look at the amount of Finns currently playing in the nhl.
Last season it was 28 skaters that had played at least one nhl game. I think the most nhler's that Finland ever had was in the 2002/2003 season with 32 players. So my point is, if these new kids on the block make it to their respective rosters or get called up for a few games, how many Finnish skaters will we see this upcoming season playing in the nhl?
possible new Finnish NHL'ers for the upcoming 2016/2017 season......
Ville Pokka
Sami Lepistö? I heard he is coming back and about to sign a contract?
Sebastian Aho
Patrik Laine
Jesse Puljujärvi
Artturi Lehkonen
Julius Honka
Below you can see the players from 2002/2003 and 2015/2016.

Am I missing any players?
We could have 35-40 NHL players! That is great for Finland!
