All-Rookie Squad
C - Bo Kane
LW - Anthony Archer
RW - Elijah Jones
D - Noah Andros
D - Noah Brusky
G - Knox Booth

Let's get one thing straight right off the get go. These are the highest ceiling players we have in the S49 Draft Class. And I totally get it: these players aren't showing the kinds of results in the sim that you would suspect if they were selected to this team. Well let me tell you what; the vast majority of skaters on the rookie leader board are only there because they play heavy minutes on lines with talented send downs. Take away that security blanket and they are completely exposed.

Back them up with an up and coming goaltender in Knox Booth and you have a recipe for an upset.

Sendown Squad
C - Esa Parmborg
LW - Nikolaj Mueller
RW - Theo Morgan
D - Corey Kennedy
D - Satoshi Zizagooney
G - Kasperi Braulin

You'll see that I went for a theme with my send down squad. Going up against a team with nothing to lose, we needed a core of veterans who could weather the storm, play smart, and find ways to win. Not only are these players leaders on the ice, but they are leaders off the ice as well. That type of maturity will be needed to stand strong against a scrappy group of rookies.
