On behalf of most demons fans I'm breathing a sigh of relief.

Excellent news indeed!

I reckon Wheat's might come up so maybe not too many changes, which is probably a good thing seeing as though ND has been getting it right so far.

I reckon Arma will hang on, Russian might stay in too because the strain is increasing on Whitey.

I hate to say it but Rigoni might be given the chop, I think his toughness will be missed but McLean isn't lacking in skills or toughness either.
