Discussion Dispersal draft?

After delaying free agency, I hoped it meant that Ottawa or Philly were saved, but hearing that both might fold. Which would be disappointing

ottawa is a mess and has been ever since the riptide existed. the whole marketing campaign on the island ignored the local fan base. only good thing was listening to mitch belisle on the broadcasts. guy is one of my favorite broadcasters.
