GERAD Adams is confirmed as Cardiff Devils coach for 2008-2009 and captain Brad Voth could be first to sign.
Talks between the two have already started, while Adams chatted to Sylvain Deschatelets before he flew home to North America.
Adams is already working on recruiting his team, but he had no time to move in on a leading British target.
He was keen on Hull Stingrays' Dave Phillips, but the 6ft 3ins player has signed for Belfast Giants.
This weekend the Devils will be checking out the English Premier League play-off finals at Coventry looking for talent.
Which players would you bring back for next season?
