Bell can play short stick or long pole and is a versatile option here. Finn Sullivan could be left unprotected if Matt Landis is 100% coming back, but thats far from a guarantee with his military service. The league's previous expansion team, the Vegas Golden Knights, is exempt from this draft. Finally, faceoff is a position that may not get much love during the draft, but Kevin Reisman, who ranked second in faceoff percentage in the MLL last year, could get some looks in this draft and will definitely get an invite to camp if he goes undrafted. Pless is another tweener who can play close or LSM, adding more versatility to an already flexible Atlas roster. One thing is for sure, the cannons will have a defensive leader for the yearbut what about 2022 and beyond? Also worth noting is my decision to protect both faceoff men. Anaheim: Dylan Guenther, RW, Edmonton (WHL) 4.. Sticking with Peyton Smith and Greg Puskuldjan while targeting TD Ierlan in the College Draft should be Nat St. Laurents strategy with the faceoff posistion.

This pick makes sense. The Waterdogs were the leagues new toy in 2020, but they didnt quite put on a show in year one. Technically Monday's blockbuster that saw the club acquire former Boston Cannons great Paul Rabil represents the first personnel move in the club's history, but the Expansion Draft is when the roster . Molloys status had been up in the air up until Monday when he officially signed with the league, which is why he hasnt appeared on many mocks, but I think hes too good for Coach Andy Towers to pass on. Seattle: Matthew Beniers, C, Michigan 3. Chrome LC: A Ryan Lee, Denver Outlaws. Reigning SSDM of the Year Ty Warner is gone as he pursues a career in medicine (which is awesome), so the Whipsnakes need another elite defensive midfielder as they look for their third straight title. To replace their 2019 second round pick, Archers should target the 2019 MLL Defensive Player of The Year, Liam Byrnes.

In goal, as it is facing off, you have to ride the hot guy and Stover could very well be that guy for the Cannons. My favorite three picks of the second round are the Chrome adding electric finisher Ryan Lee, who would pair great with a number of Chrome attackers, Whipsnakes adding veteran attackman Mark Cockerton, who can be another weapon at Jim Stagnittas disposal, and the versatile Dylan Molloy, who could improve an already loaded Chaos attack. 2. Hes also one of the top young players in the world and has great chemistry with Lyle Thompson after two years with the Bayhawks. The PLL Entry Draft is less than 24 hours away and who each team is picking is still very much up in the air (except when it comes to the #1 pick of course). Despite being the best team in the league, Whipsnakes have one of the thinnest rosters in the league. Theyre an elite unit with great chemistry between them. Having now three face-off guys who know the PLL rules and are used to them will be huge out of the gate. Hes another guy who has bounced from team to team through drafts and after going 55% last season brings in plenty of experience and will be an immediate contributor. Miles Thompson went unselected in the 2019 Expansion Draft, but the former Tewaaraton winner is almost certainly going to get picked up this time around.

He has no real weaknesses in his game, although if I had to nitpick he does turn the ball over a bit, but when he has the ball that often, especially facing double and triple teams, its not that big an issue. I expect that beyond the unprotected players, more cuts and trades are coming as Rubeor, who was Bostons offensive coordinator two years ago mind you, reshapes this roster. Petterson is a surprise to me here, but its not surprising in general.
