MLL 2012 Expansion Draft & Supplemental Draftが完了

ILの記事（リンク）より。

6チームから8チームへと拡大するMLL。先週各チームのProtectされた選手以外を再配分するexpansion draftが終わり、昨日、所謂リーグの選手登録プールに登録した、漏れていた選手や、新しくリーグに帰って来た、以前学生ドラフトで指名されていなかった選手たちを主に補欠要員としてドラフトするsupplemental draftが終了。

これで、各チームのラインナップの8-9割が完成し、残りは1月のNCAAドラフトを待つばかりとなった。

以下、ILからのRosterの転載。Supplementalは各チーム20人いてきりがないので、有名所というか、僕が「おっ」と思った選手のみ。

Expansion/Supplemental draftを通して、指名権も譲渡も絡めて大型トレードが相当数行われ、結構顔の違うチームになったチームがいくつかある。

衝撃は、新規加盟のCharlotte Hounds (North Carolina)。Long IslandからDino (Matt Danowski)とS-Berg (Stephen Berger)のオフェンス2枚看板を獲得し、Billy Bitter (UNC-Denver)、Jeremy Boultus (Navy-Hamilton)の2年目AT最強クラスを獲得。MF, DF, Gでもいいメンバーを集めており、参入一年目からいきなり優勝を狙えるチームを作ってしまった。日本のプロ野球の楽天のケースや、過去のMLLの新規参入（西海岸やChicago）のケースだと、ほとんどの場合弱小最下層チームから徐々に登るか万年ザコキャラというパターンが多く、非常に珍しい例になるかもしれない。

Charlotteは、新規参入の特権で元々1月の大学ドラフトの上位指名権を持っていたが、その指名権をバンバントレードとして使いベテランスーパースターを獲得したパターン。どうせ今年の上位指名はRob PannellとSteele Stanwickで、二人とも大学では凄いが、MLLでの活躍は未知数な部分もある。加えてアジャストに数年掛かる、そうなると、とっととチームを立ち上げたいCharlotteとしては、その指名権を譲ってでもベテラン選手を獲得し、ロケットスタートを切りたかった、という思惑だろう。それを大胆に実行しており、非常に賢い。

逆にLong Islandからすると、ここらで世代交代して一気に刷新したいと考えていたとすると、Dino, Bergerを放出し、Pannellを軸に全く新しいチームを作ろうと言う事だろうか。（若干危険な香りを感じなくも無いが...）

Defending ChampionのBostonが現時点では恐らく最も手堅く、強いラインナップ。優勝チームの主力人がほとんど戻って来ている。

CHARLOTTE Hounds
改めて眺めて、一気に強力OF陣が揃っている。Gも十分。DFにもFlanaganとSchmidt。若干心配なのはMF、特にFOとDFMFか。

Ohioは...ぶっちゃけ、典型的な新規参入チームって感じ...失礼だが、Tier 2/3プレーヤーや、既に引退の近い選手の寄せ集めという感が否めない...

BOSTON CANNONS
引き続き最強。大きな変更は、Max Quinzani (AT)が抜けた（切り捨てられた）事か。メンツが固過ぎる。DF/Gも同じ。連覇の予感。

DENVER OUTLAWS
何気に大きな入れ替えを伴っている。GMとHCも変更。優勝候補と言われながら優勝を逃し続けて7年目。オーナーの大鉈が振るわれた。柱はMundorfとSeibald。後はDFとGが固い。

LONG ISLAND LIZARDS
何気に現時点ではかなり苦しい感じに見える。Rob Pannellで再生出来るか。
John Grant Jr., Attack (Not picked in Expansion Draft, rights retained)→悲しい。Expansion Draftでもどのチームにも拾われなかった...脇役的には使いにくい、でも主役の実力も無くなってしまった。

Supplemental Draft Picks

ROCHESTER RATTLERS
ここは完全にNed Crottyのチーム。Catalinoが思った以上にハマりまくり。もしKevin Leveilleが復帰して、2年前までの実力が残っているなら、普通に恐ろしいAT陣ということになってくる。ただ、MFとDFが引き続ききちーなー、と言う印象。
Jay Card, Attack (Protected)
