Next up on the tour of the league offices: the newsroom, where both Aho and Teravainen chatted with NHL.com writers for upcoming stories.

NHL.com had Aho and Teravainen submitted their picks for the NHL All-Star Last Men In vote.
Aho, of course, picked all of the Finns in the running, including his teammate.

Teravainen also picked all of the Finns in the running, but also gave a nod to former teammates Jeff Skinner and Jonathan Toews in the Atlantic and Central Divisions, respectively.
When it got to the Metropolitan Division? "I don't want to talk about this one," he joked. "It's fun that fans can vote someone in."

Back upstairs, Aho finished recording "liners" for the NHL's international markets, including Finland and China. Teravainen then did the same.
"Yeah, I might have to take a couple," he said with a smile while reading over the script on the teleprompter.
But, he nailed it. "Ni hao! This is Teuvo Teravainen of the Carolina Hurricanes," he said to the camera.

Before leaving the city, the Finnish duo stopped by the NHL Store downstairs to sign some pucks, hats and other memorabilia.
