The Buffalo Bandits selected six players in the NLL Dispersal Draft on Tuesday.
The Dispersal Draft player pool consisted of the Ottawa and Philadelphia rosters after both franchises officially ceased operations. Clubs selected in reverse order based on their regular-season winning percentages over the two most recently completed seasons, with the most recent season weighted at 70 percent.
In addition to their own pick, the Bandits acquired the 11th and 23rd picks in the draft in a deal with Vancouver on Monday.
The Bandits’ selections included goaltender Zach Higgins, who previously played for the team in 2018 and 2019. Higgins had a 77.6 save percentage in 18 games with Ottawa last season.
Buffalo’s picks in the Dispersal Draft were as follows:
Round 1, Pick 9 – Zach Higgins, G
Round 1, Pick 11 – Dalton Young, T
Round 2, Pick 21 – Larson Sundown, F
Round 2, Pick 23 – Scott Dominey, T
