World Cup of Hockey hasn't been played since 2004 and last team to win the Cup is Canada. Now as the prestigious tournament is back, there's no questions about it being filled with star players.

 
 
 
 

Team Finland Finland has been successful on the international stage for a long time and is ranked fourth in the International Ice Hockey Federation 2015 men's rankings. Team Finland will possibly have a good team in 2016 World Cup of Hockey, but since great players such as Teemu Selänne, Sami Salo and Kimmo Timonen no longer plays, it may be a tough tournment.

The strongest part will certainly be the goaltending. Tuukka Rask and Pekka Rinne are among the top goalies in NHL and if they're in their best shape, both will carry Team Finland a long way. This is how Team Finland could look like.

Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins
Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators
Juuse Saros, Nashville Predators

Defensemen:
Juuso Hietanen, Dynamo Moscow
Petteri Lindbohm, ST. Louis Blues
Esa Lindell, Dallas Stars
Olli Maatta, Pittsburgh Penguins
Rasmus Ristolainen, Buffalo Sabres
Sami Vatanen, Anaheim Ducks

Forwards:
Aleksander Barkov, Florida Panthers
Valtteri Filppula, Tampa Bay Lightning
Joonas Kemppainen, Boston Bruins
Mikko Koivo, Minnesota Wild
Jori Lehtera, ST. Louis Blues
Mikael Granlund, Minnesota Wild
Jussi Jokinen, Florida Panthers
Leo Komarov, Toronto Maple Leafs
Teuvo Teravainen, Chicago Blackhawks
Joonas Donskoi, San José Sharks
Lauri korpikoski, Edmonton Oilers
Teemu Pulkkinen, Detroit Red Wings
Toumo Ruttu, New Jersey Devils
