Teams may protect 11 players between their Senior and their Developmental Roster.
If the Player's contract expires at the end of 2008, he will still be considered part of the team's Senior Roster. *RUIZ*
If a team protects a player, it is not obligated to exercise the player's option. The team may renegotiate a new budget number for the player as in previous years.
If a player retires, he will not be a part of the Senior Roster, but his team will lose its right of first refusal to him should he ultimately decide to play.
Players on a team's Developmental Roster, other than Generation adidas players who have not been graduated at the end of the 2008 season, will be part of the expansion draft.
Generation adidas players who have not been graduated at the end of the 2008 season are automatically protected
If Seattle Sounders FC select a Developmental Player they must offer him a Senior Roster position and he must be on Seattle's Senior Roster as of Roster Compliance Date.
IMPORTANT PART
For purposes of this expansion process, for U.S.-based teams, any non-domestic U.S. player would count as an International and for Toronto FC, any non-domestic U.S. player or non-domestic Canadian player would count as an International.
Teams may make available a number of international players equal to their total number of international players minus 3, provided that if a team has 3 or less international players it may make available not more than 1.
So that throws out the expansion draft threads lol
So here are our internationals of which we only have to protect 3:
Carl Robinson
Carlos Ruiz
Armado Guevara
J. Smith
Tyrone Marshall
Danny Dichio
Killian Elikson
Julius James
Rohan Ricketts
So here is my list, assuming that nobody is leaving or retiring:
Protected Internationals:
Carl Robinson
Armado Guevara
Julius James
Tyrone Marshall
Rohan Ricketts
Protected Domestics:
Marvel Wynne
Chad Barrett
Johann Smith
Brian Edwards
Todd Dunivant
Jim Brennan
Ibrahim is G/A and is therefore exempt
Your thoughts???
