NLL Rookie Watch – 2019 Review

The 2018-19 NLL Entry Draft feels like a lifetime ago as six rounds worth of new prospects were welcomed in. I checked in on the 2019 draft class earlier this year and now that the regular season is over, it’s time to review the rookie class’ inaugural campaign.

 

As a refresher:

FIRST ROUND       

  1. San Diego – Austin Staats
  2. Philadelphia – Chris Cloutier
  3. Buffalo (from Vancouver) – Matt Gilray
  4. Buffalo – Ian MacKay
