the Detroit Falcons definitely were not the best team out there this season, but with a lot of development and exciting prospects on the way, there is no doubt that improvement should easily be achieved by the team in S57. There are going to be some tough callups: starting goalie Thor Odinson, solid defenseman in Diporov and Sammy Blaze are all on the way out.

However, there are very exciting prospects on the way to replace them. Goaltender will be a position of importance in the draft, but Jonathan Granstrom, Anton Mihailov and Wen Baters are all set to develop a lot and will be good assets to pick up in the upcoming SHL Entry Draft. Some more fringe players could also see some improvement. The Falcons aren't in the most favorable spot in terms of draft picks, but they should get a top tier prospect in the draft and could end up with some long shot guys that may be really strong players at the SMJHL level.
