What to expect: The Falcons have some holes to fill after graduating what Pelletier called a very talented senior class. There is still a core of skilled players, however, and there is a mix of veterans and newcomers at all three levels. Pelletier is hoping the team can find chemistry and stay in the playoff hunt.
