It has been a typically eventful offseason in the NWSL, and most of that activity - for better or for worse - has centered around the Washington Spirit. USWNT stars Ali Krieger and Crystal Dunn have both found new clubs, as have key midfielder Christine Nairn and highly-rated center back Megan Oyster. Rumors have swirled relentlessly, while Washington enters 2017 with three different players in various stages of recovery from serious knee injuries. Oh, and their leading scorer in 2016 may or may not be back.
It’s a lot to keep in mind, so with the 2017 NWSL draft just over 24 hours away, it’s time to take stock of what the Spirit’s roster really looks like.
