In addition to his Second Team All-Star selection, Rafferty was also named to the AHL All-Rookie Team for his outstanding first full professional season.
Anas and Rafferty are the first former Bobcats in program history to be named to the AHL All-Star teams, while Anas is the first to lead the AHL in scoring and Rafferty is also the first to be named to the AHL All-Rookie Team.
Anas, who had received the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the AHL's leading scorer earlier this offseason, was named to his first AHL Postseason All-Star Team in 2019-20. Anas tallied a career-high 70 points in 2019-20, scoring 20 goals alongside an AHL-leading 50 assists.

Rafferty had one of the finest rookie seasons in the AHL in 2019-20 as he was named to the AHL All-Star Classic in January before his Second Team All-Star and All-Rookie Team selections.
He ranked third among all AHL defensemen with 45 points and was tied for second with 38 assists. Rafferty scored seven goals this season and had a +17 plus/minus rating. With his 45 points, Rafferty set the Utica Comets' record for points by a rookie.
