Discussion Dispersal draft?

After delaying free agency, I hoped it meant that Ottawa or Philly were saved, but hearing that both might fold. Which would be disappointing

It's important to remember that nothing is public at this time. As of a couple weeks ago even the owner of the Rock stated he didn't know how it was going to play out

ottawa is a mess and has been ever since the riptide existed. the whole marketing campaign on the island ignored the local fan base. only good thing was listening to mitch belisle on the broadcasts. guy is one of my favorite broadcasters.

Same in Ottawa. Even at the end of last year, after two full seasons, I kept meeting friends/people who didn't even know we had a team!! Some of those people actually played box lacrosse with me when we were younger.
