Coming in at #6 is Halifax’s addition of defenseman Tyson Bell. The Thunderbirds traded the 14th (Harrison Matsuoka) and 20th (Ethan Ticehurst) picks in the 2020 NLL Draft to the Calgary Roughnecks in exchange for the five-year vet. The 2019 NLL champion joins a Halifax team who also added another defenseman on draft night, when they selected Ethan Riggs with the 11th overall selection.

#5 could technically be considered two moves, but since they came in succession, I thought I would loop them together. Those moves being Toronto’s additions of veteran defensemen Mitch de Snoo and Jason Noble in separate trades.

The Rock acquired Noble from the Georgia Swarm in exchange for the 10th pick (Ethan Walker) in the 2020 NLL Draft and a 2021 1st round pick. Toronto added de Snoo in exchange for defensemen Alex Tulett and Brock Sorenson, and a conditional 2022 1st round pick.
