Kotkaniemi injured
Barkov didn't accept the invitation
Teravainen still playing in the NHL
Heiskanen still playing in the NHL

Someone today posted that the Russian team had 600+ points in the NHL this season, Finland had 12. Russia also had Kaprizov and Gusev, top-2 players in points in the KHL this past season.

Yet Finland beat them 3-1. It's not always about the best players, but about the best team.

Kapanen is RFA. Players who are without a contract usually don't want to risk injuries

He's without a contract at the moment, same with Laine.

Maybe Rantanen goes if Colorado gets knocked out.

I doubt with his contract situation. He's getting paid this summer.

There's really nobody left who could help Kakko.

Aho& TT are in the Eastern finals, and Heiskanen is still playing atleast 2 games, & is a D-man.

Team said no on the behalf of Barkov, Granlund just became a father, Koivu injured, Kotka injured, Laine injured, Risto says always no, Vatanen has been battling with injuries.
This just isn't our year.

Haven't heard from Filppula/Komarov but they are bottom6 players, and Filppul is UFA himself as well.
