JYP finished third in the playoffs last season, after winning the bronze medal game against Lukko.
This season's team is hardly the same as last year though. Arguably the three most important players in last year’s team - Mikko Mäenpää (Ambri-Piotta), Eric Perrin (TPS) and Markus Hännikäinen (Columbus) - have left the club. To add salt to the wound, Juuso Ikonen left for Kärpät as well, and while he's not as important as the other players, he was still a big part of the team.
Last year the team placed fourth in the league and moved up to third in the playoffs, where they were knocked out by the eventual winners, Kärpät.
