As we start gearing up for S59, let's take a look at the Scarecrows' projected roster for the season. To start off, St. Louis lost five players to the SHL, retirement, or aging out:
C - Xavier Doom - 949 TPE (425 cap)
RW - Adrian Ayers - 754 TPE (425 cap)
LD - Michael Withecheck - 1000 TPE (425 cap)
RW - Pavel Kharlamov - 572 TPE (425 cap)
G - Kit Kirkstone - 279 TPE
To refill the cupboard, St. Louis drafted seven new players in the S59 draft:
RD - Marcel Beck - 240 TPE
LW - Maverick Seabrook - 187 TPE
RW - Nikolai Ayerzov - 198 TPE
RD - Mars Stanton - 206 TPE
RW - Igor Isyanov - 171 TPE
C - Jeffrey McCabe - 158 TPE
LD - Major Chip Hazard - 155 TPE
Based on the losses and the incoming new players, here's the opening day depth chart/lines:
LW - Hunter Sharpe - 486 TPE C - Victor Fedorov - 585 TPE RW - Friedensreich Hundertwasser - 621 TPE
LW - Greg Davies - 463 TPE C - Scooby Doo - 266 TPE RW - Zbynek Dobrovsky - 489 TPE
LW - Maverick Seabrook - 187 TPE C - Nikolai Ayerzov - 198 TPE RW - Lebron Brady - 388 TPE
LW - Igor Isyanov - 185 TPE C - Jeffrey McCabe - 155 TPE RW - Brent Ashe - 191 TPE
LD - Dane von Gucci - 431 TPE RD - Ethan Bouchard - 403 TPE
LD - Daryl Urquhart - 410 TPE RD - Marcel Beck - 240 TPE
LD - Major Chip Hazard - 155 TPE RD - Mars Stanton - 206 TPE
G - Iorek Byrnison - 332 TPE
G - Jack Lewis - 174 TPE
Almost every St. Louis player is either capped or a rookie. Scooby Doo is the only player that does not fall into either category. Every defenseman is either capped or a rookie. St. Louis management did a great job filling out the bottom lines for the future. I think we will get a good indication of what this team is made of very early in the season. The losses of their veterans hurt, but many of the rookies are high TPE earners, and will push for higher roles in the lineup soon enough.
