The lacrosse team missed the playoffs four of its five years in Langley. They are better now than they were a year ago, when they went 2-16.
We’ll start with this gem: Will the National Lacrosse League Warriors be contenders before the NHL Vancouver Canucks?The Warriors head into a Sunday matinee against the Philadelphia Wings at Rogers Arena mathematically eligible for a NLL playoff spot but just barely.
This is merely a side project for the Canucks, a spinoff among several different spinoffs. The Warriors’ budget is probably what Canucks’ owner Francesco Aquilini considers walking-around cash. For instance, the salary cap for each 21-man roster in the NLL is $431,600. Even with the improvement, the Warriors still have considerable work ahead of them. Heading into Saturday action around the league, the Warriors were last in the 11-team loop in goals and at the bottom in shots on goal .
Richardson has tried to stockpile some picks in his time at the helm, getting two third-rounders from the New England Black Wolves for defender Andrew Suitor, a second-rounder from the Rush for defender Travis Cornwall and another third-rounder from the Black Wolves for defender Mackenzie Mitchell.
For guys who live here and play elsewhere, the 18-game season is all road games. Richardson is hoping he can sell players on how much easier their lives would be cutting that travel in half. And, as an enticement, he hasn’t yet used the Warriors’ single franchise player tag, which gives a player an extra $7,500 above the veterans’ maximum salary. It was $38,983 in 2019.
