The following are the three players who will be crucial to the Detroit Falcons season.

1) Teemu Salami because Teemu is entering his 4th year in Detroit and will be entering the SHL next season. He's also probably the best player on the team so Salami's performance is probably going to dictate how far The Falcons can actually go. Whether or not he's going to be all star we'll see.

2) Brayden Point is the team's top center and is coming off a 66 point season. We're going to need Point to have a season like last year and further step up as a playmaker. Seeing as how Point has eligibility left after this season we'll see if he gives everything he has this year.

3) Anastasia Soderstrom. She's been Detroit's starting goalie since her rookie year in the league and I think we'll only see this trend continue going into next year. Her ability to stand on her head is going to be essential if we're to make a deep run in the playoffs.
