The Whitecaps elected to have the first pick in the MLS Superdraft, leaving Portland with the opportunity to select first in the expansion draft. The Timbers will have the #2 pick in the Superdraft.
Here are the other priority items which were decided:
3. Allocation Ranking: #1 Vancouver; #2 Portland
4. Designated Player Ranking: #1 Portland, #2 Vancouver
5. USL Player Priority: #1 Vancouver, #2 Portland
6. Discovery Ranking: #17 Portland, #18 Vancouver
7. Waiver/Re-Entry Draft: #17 Vancouver, #18 Portland
8. Lottery Ranking: #17 Portland, #18 Vancouver
Does anyone have any idea of which players may be left unprotected? Is anyone developing a potential player list?
ReplyDeleteI believe it won't be until about January before the MLS teams put up their Unprotected List before the SuperDraft happens.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Expansion Draft was in November, right after the current MLS season ends.
ReplyDeleteMao, you are completely right. The expansion draft was held in November in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 season. There is no certain date set as of yet, but it should be around the last week of November.
