We’ve kept up with all the signings across the National Lacrosse League this past offseason, plus all the major and most minor trades too.
So where do teams sit just a few weeks away from training camp?
Below, see who all 15 of the NLL’s teams have added & subtracted from last year’s rosters, plus the small handful of players still yet to officially sign, sit or retire. Anticipated rookies from over the past two draft classes were not included, nor were players who re-signed with their clubs either as unrestricted or restricted free agents.
