rkov,Mike Richards Jersey, is an assistant coach in the KHL with Ak Bars Kazan. The younger Barkov, born and raised in Tampere, Finland, is proficient in Finnish, Russian and English.Ristolainen of TPS is rated second among Finnish skaters, according to Central Scouting. The 6-foot-3, 203-pound defenseman had three assists and a plus-1 rating in seven games for Finland at the 2012 WJC."He's a very mature young defenseman playing big minutes," Stubb said. "He can carry or pass the puck out of danger, is a good, solid skater and uses his size and physical strength well in the defensive zone. Rasmus will be a key D-man for Finland at World Juniors. He can play physical, but does not take unnecessary penalties."Markus Granlund was drafted in the second round (No. 45) by the Calgary Flames in 2011, the same year Armia was selected No. 16 by the Buffalo Sabres. Teravainen was plucked at No. 18 by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2012, the same year as Maatta (No. 22) by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Pokka (No. 34) by the New York Islanders.Follow Mike Morreale on Twitter: @mike_morreale
