For better or worse, that looks like the core I expect to emerge/improve. Maybe adding in Novikov to the mix. Also curious to see who emerges from last and this years drafts too.
Sounds like he overperformed at camp then couldnt hang when the season started. Too young and underdeveloped at this stage. Possible that his confidence had taken a beating and he's still finding his way back in the SHL. #speculation

I'm optimistic (if we can shake the injury bug). Deluca500 is achievable.
Caveat, I haven't looked at the schedule, so we could be in for a hiding and I'm talking out my butt.
I would like to see Adams involved in cap laundering for picks/prospects. Nothing that hampers the team with a potential Sobotka-like anchor, but short term cap circumvention for a contender to gain extra asset(s).
