What would a Finnish team comprised of elite NHLers look like today?
Makinen goes with the same personnel as me but in a different deployment. Most notably, he puts Dallas Stars teammates Lindell and Hakanpaa together.A decade ago, Finnish goaltending was at its pinnacle, regarded as highly as Russian goaltending today, with the luxury of choosing between puck-stoppers like Tuukka Rask and Pekka Rinne for the starting gig. The talent pool has since turned over a lot, and Saros exists in a class of his own, the slam-dunk No. 1 option.
Also considered: Ville Husso, Kevin Lankinen, Emil Larmi, Kaapo Kahkonen, Ukko-Pekka Luukonen, Justus AnnunenPut it this way: if Saros remains healthy, there’s no need for the other two.My biggest flex here is I didn’t try and pick a Euro-based goaltender. Kept it simple with the three best options available.Ville Husso was a solid option, but, again, if Saros doesn’t get hurt, the other two are just there for the ride.
Also considered: Ville Husso, Kevin Lankinen, Leevi Merilainen, Lassi Lehtinen, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Justus AnnunenSame trio as Steven’s. Makinen opts for the game-breaking ability of Korpisalo as his No. 2 rather than the steady but injury-prone Raanta.
