Some of the new additions to NL are upgrades. The 3 attack (gz, sjc, gp)and 2 mid (landon, deerfield), lsm (sjc) and 1 pole (landon)are talent upgrades.the rest of the additions are a wash, and were added either because of a package deal or political reason. If it was a true open tryout not all of the ML players would have been given spots. This was not a supplemental tryout, but a merger in whole.

As a whole, the team will be better, once they can learn to play together. The biggest change that will cause growth with the team is the addition by subtraction and no longer having DS (gc coach) in control of the team.
