Really wish it showed where guys were drafted and bolded guys have touched the NHL for at least a game. I get the overwhelming feeling it is considerably more than the Czech vs Slovak thread.

I look forward to the Canada vs US thread where a third rounder doesn't count and a guy that hasn't played 2 seasons by 23 is a bust!

Sweden in every position group. Finland’s best is forwards, but so is Sweden’s, so that’s probably the closest area, but I’ll take Sweden by a lot.

Wow...nice work! I take Sweden but Finn's are awesome.

Way more players with star potential with the Swedes that's what matters. Also zero Finnish u23 defenders who are exprcted to have a good NHL career that's bad. Hopefully Heinola bounces back and Kiviharju lives up the hype at least otherwise Finnish D will be Heiskanen and bunch of trash when it comes to these promised international tournaments in future

Sweden AINEC. Finnish hockey is in decline and Sweden is on the rise. Last 4 drafts first rounders: Sweden 18, Finland 3.

I don't know about Finnish decline but Sweden is killing it. Next draft looks very good for Finland. Need a few D and a G to pan out.
