Adding an Ament, Teat, or even Mac O’Keefe to hit some two-pointers for the Chrome would help this team end up on the right side of more close games. In this article, I go over the announced roster for the PLL Redwoods. The big-bodied ballstopper from north of the border is one of the most proven goalies in the pro game, but they also return the 2019 PLL Oren Lyons Goalie of The Year in Blaze Riordan. Drenner had a great season, but the Whips have so many guys to keep at midfield, it’s just hard to keep a spot for him and he is a guy that could go unprotected. - Nat St. Laurent: Head coach for Ohio Northern University. Chaos picked up one of the best goalies in the world in Dillon Ward this offseason. All other players head to the expansion draft pool. Also, follow me on Instagram (logical_lacrosse) and Twitter (Logical_Lacrosse) if you aren’t already. Matt Kavanagh is, of course, an outstanding lefty finisher, but as we’ve already said, the draft has quite a few quality attackmen, and it’s the easiest place for teams to choose not to protect someone.
Galloway could be protected based on new Chrome LC coach Tim Soudan’s history with him in Rochester, but past loyalties don’t always outweigh recent performance.Chrome can keep their two hyper-talented attack and use their high draft pick on one of the many attackmen that will be in the collegiate draft. A maximum of four players can be selected from any given team, then all other unprotected players from that club return to their original roster.

If a player is in the NLL, I have listed which team they are on.
Yes, all the teams have good players, but the Redwoods seem to have benefitted more from roster announcements compared to others. I’d keep Ghitelman to keep the Utah coaching staff (Ghitelman, Manny, Holman) together, but could be easily persuaded to keep Adams. Middies who can play the wing on a faceoff, stay on at either end, and crush transition are what teams will want. Kyle Harrison had a tough shooting season and doesn’t do enough as a two-way middie to warrant protecting. Chaos LC, led by electric head coach Andy Towers and the Bomb Squad, finished the 2019 regular season with the best record, before losing two straight games to get knocked out of the playoffs.
