    Quick note - Ahola *will* be playing for the Finnish Olympic Team in 1992,
    so he may get to square off against Amonte & McEachern next February. BU's
    Petteri Koskimaki also has a good chance to join Ahola on Team Finland.
    Koskimaki, a 2nd-line left wing, was picked in the 8th round of the 1990
    NHL Draft by Pittsburgh, 152nd overall.  Pittsburgh also owns McEachern's
    rights.
 
    There's usually a big concern over European players being able to make it
    in the NHL (look at the Soviets), but these two are already used to the
    North American style of play and that should be a big advantage for them
    both in the Olympics and in the pros.
