The St. Louis Scarecrows currently has two primary weaknesses, youth and inactives, causing a lack of goal scoring (an issue last year). The Scarecrows currently have six rookies and six 2nd year players coupled with seven inactives. The Scarecrows currently only have three active defensemen, all now at their allowable maximum builds. The fourth and fifth defensemen stalled at mid-240 TPE while their last defenseman is stuck at 161TPE.

On forward, the Scarecrows currently have two full lines of 300+ TPE players; however, only two are at the 425 max. The rest of the players are rookies or inactives with less than 200 TPE.

The lack of active players and the significant amount of youth are causing an overall lower TPE team that struggles to score goals. Currently, the Scarecrows highest point-getter is at 13pts in 16 games and the 2nd and 3rd are tied at 10 each. With the lack of scoring, only seven players have a positive +/-, with the highest tied at +3.

The only way to fix this is time by drafting, signing, or trading for active players who want to play for St. Louis.
