PLL Expansion Draft Predictions: Who will Coach Quirk and Cannons LC select?

Atlas LC

PLL Expansion Draft Overview

The Atlas opted to not protect Paul Rabil, which many expected. Yet, the biggest shocker was that they instead traded him to Cannons LC right before the protected players rosters were due! The other surprise came when Coach Ben Rubeor shipped Ryan Brown to the Waterdogs after protecting him from the PLL Expansion Draft. Other than leaving off Connor Buczek, the Atlas had very few surprises.

There aren’t too many players even available for Coach Quirk to select, but the two that stand out would be midfielder Connor Buczek and short-stick defensive middie Kevin Unterstein. Another dark horse pick could be the selection of former Yale defender Aidan Hynes, who has yet to suit up in a PLL game, but would be a great young addition to this new Cannons defense.
