Mikko Ruutu was with a tryout with some finnish team not long ago. Considering how ehm... not so good he is, I doubt he heads for Ottawa.

Thanks for the info so far guys. =)

Yeah Leppanen was on JYP, you're right. I got him mixed up with Erkki Rajamäki. He's the Ilves player I meant to ask about.

If anyone else has info about the remaining players, or can add more about what's already there, please post!

Quickly (I will edit this later when I get more information)

Matti Järvinen - In Sweden (tier 2 level team)
Pekka Kangasalusta - Training with HC Montreal (tier 3 team in Tampere)
Joose Lipponen - Was in tryout in Sport, probably will play in Seinäjoki (tier 3)
Janne Mäkelä - Still recovering from injury
Mikko Peltonen - Retired
Timo Salonen - Still looking for a team or retiring for studies

And correcting these:

I'll add these two goalies to the list of "Where are they going now".

Juuso Riksman (in MoDo Hockey last season)
Kimmo Vesa (also in MoDo Hockey last year)

Anyone knows where these are going, or even heard rumors about it, it'd be very much appreciated if you let me know. I put this question in the Finnish transfer thread as well some days ago, but now when I think of it, this is a better thread for it as rumors aren't allowed in the other one.

Jan Nemecek has signed with Leksand and Fredrik Sundin will continue with Timrå.

Replying to my own post, as Ste' said Jusso Riksman is going to play for HC Alleghe (Italy), and I just saw on eurohockey.net that Kimmo Vesa has signed for Hermes Kokkola (not sure what division they are playing in?) until the Christmas break.

Hermes play in Mestis, which is one step lower than SM-liiga.
