I know the Mallards have been taken over by the league, but does that speed up the process of their roster being finalized?

not fully because they are still dealing with immigration for a handful of players that were signed prior. due to the issues, the process that normally takes 45 days was delayed obviously. as far as i have found out, they can be expedited and league will also help to pay for that. also, the mallards reportedly have all those players on the same list to get sorted out at the same time as well.
