Overview

The defending champs are fairly set heading into 2021. Their roster is fairly thin (partially due to the retirement of Brett Schmidt and Jeremy Sieverts and leave of absence by Ty Warner), which allows the Whips to protect their core group of players. Almost every player who saw action in 2020 will remain on this roster heading into 2021, and that’s a scary thought for the rest of the league.

Adam

They’ve won back-to-back championships and Coach Jim Stagnitta has the ability to bring back his entire core. I don’t think there are any surprises here. While I do think that Max Tuttle could possibly be protected over a TJ Comizio, I chose to keep the latter because short-stick defensive midfield talent is at a premium, particularly for the Whips who lose Ty Warner this year due to his medical school commitments.
