Fan Poll: What’s most likely to happen in 2009

October 6th, 2008 by Paul Tutka

Lots of big news coming outta last season.

Athan Iannucci came outta the wood work to dominate the league scoring charts. The Bandits pulled up their socks way past their knees to do what few thought they could at the start of the season. The league and players signed a long term CBA which is supposed to spark a slew of positives starting potentially as soon as this year. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

This off-season, with an American heavy draft, some XXL roster moves, and Boston entering the league, it looks like we might be in for as many surprises as we had in 2008.

So, with that said, take a look at the story lines below, and let NLL Insider know what scenario you think is MOST likely to happen in 2009…
