    If there is anything it'd be on the MLS site. but really, there's no point in having anything live. Seattle just basically has to submit a list 10 players at 1 pm. It's an instant event, not one with any duration.

    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    MLS Expansion Draft Rules


    Senior Roster
    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. 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.
    Developmental Roster
    Players on a team's Developmental Roster, other than Generation adidas players who have not been graduated at the end of the 2008 season, may be left unprotected and are eligible may be selected by Seattle in the expansion draft. Generation adidas players who have not been graduated at the end of the 2008 season are automatically protected (teams do not have to protect them). 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.
    International Players
    Teams are restricted in the number of international player(s) that they may make available per the table set forth below. 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.
    Designated Players
    Designated Players do not have to be protected unless the player has a no trade clause in which case he must be protected.
    Maximum Player Loss
    Once a player has been claimed from a team's non-protected roster, that team is eliminated from the expansion draft and may not lose any further players.
    Right to Renegotiate
    Seattle will have the right to renegotiate a drafted player's salary (either up or down) without having to place such player on waivers or giving his previous Team a right of first refusal.
    Priority
    On the first day of the Discovery/Allocation Period, Seattle will have priority over players who played professionally in the USL First or Second Division in 2008, subject to another MLS team's right of first refusal.
    Rounds
    The expansion draft will be 10 rounds.
    INTERNATIONAL PLAYER PROTECTION REQUIREMENT


    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.

    Ives predicts.....

    NATE JAQUA (Houston Dynamo)
    League sources have told SBI that this one is a done deal and Jaqua will be going to Seattle. A good target striker who could benefit from playing alongside Ljungberg and LeToux, Jaqua also has ties to the Pacific Northwest as an Oregon native.
    BRAD EVANS (Columbus Crew)
    If Schmid is providing input into this selection then look for Evans to get the nod. Evans was a real revelation for the Crew this past season and his modest salary makes him even more appealing to a Seattle team already carrying Freddie Ljungberg's designated player slot. Eddie Gaven seems like an enticing pick as well, but Evans makes a fraction of Gaven's salary and there are other wing options for Seattle.
    BRANDON PRIDEAUX (Chicago Fire)
    You can never have too many solid veteran defenders and Prideaux proved to be that for the Fire in 2008. Yes, he is 32, but he can step right in and start at right back. It also doesn't hurt that he's a Washingto native. Seattle could also look toward central defender C.J. Brown or forward Calen Carr, especially if it chooses to grab another right back like Lawson Vaughn or Chris Leitch.
    MICHAEL RANDOLPH (Los Angeles Galaxy)
    Seattle wants players who have shown an ability to start in MLS, but who make modest wages. Randolph qualifies and could give Seattle a quality young left back prospect. He also has past ties to the Pacific Northwest, having played for the Portland Timbers.
    JOHANN SMITH (Toronto FC)
    You can't teach speed and Seattle could very well turn to arguably the fastest player in MLS by grabbing Smith, a left winger with plenty of promise. Even if Seattle wouldn't plan on keeping Smith, there is certainly interest in the former U.S. Under-20 player from other teams in MLS.
    JORGE FLORES (Chivas USA)
    With Sanna Nyassi and Johann Smith on board, it wouldn't seem to make much sense to pick-up Flores, despite the great promise he showed last season, but this would be a pick for a trade. If the Sounders weren't looking to deal Flores, then it could turn to veteran striker Ante Razov, who played collegiately for Schmid, though his price tag might be an issue.
    KEVIN HARTMAN (Kansas City)
    With Kasey Keller signed, and USL standout Chris Eylander set to become his understudy, the last thing Seattle needs is goalkeeping. Right? Well, this is true, but goalkeeper is fast becoming a thin position in MLS and Seattle will find no shortage of takers for Hartman, one of the league's best veteran goalkeepers. In fact, if you package Flores and Hartman, Seattle just might have the makings of a package to acquire Cuban striker Maykel Galindo from Chivas USA. Galindo played for the USL Sounders before moving to MLS. Now, if Seattle decides against trying to grab Hartman for a trade, the Sounders could certainly look to young defender Tyson Wahl, who impressed this year.
    PAT PHELAN (New England)
    Young, talented, versatile and cheap. Those are four qualities Seattle wants to find in at least some of its expansion draft picks and Phelan fits all of those categories. Capable of playing in central defense or as a defensive midfielder, Phelan could certainly challenge for a starting role in 2009.
    MIKE PETKE (Colorado Rapids)
    Finding a veteran centerback to lead the back-line is always important for an expansion team and Petke fits that bill. He turns 33 in January but has been the picture of reliability throughout his career. Before last season, when he was sidelined due to foot surgery, Petke had played in at least 24 games for 10 straight seasons. A smart and physical player who is also capable of heading home the occasional goal, Petke is also out of contract and might be able to be had for a reasonable price.
    NATHAN STURGIS (Real Salt Lake)
    Before injuries derailed his young career, Sturgis was regarded as a future star. The former U.S. Under-23 player has struggled for two years to stay healthy but just might be a gamble worth taking for Seattle. If the Sounders he isn't worth the risk, don't be surprised to see Seattle grab young and inexpensive midfielder Joe Vide (D.C. United), who impressed as a defensive midfielder late in 2008.

    The MLS site says it will be 10 draft "rounds".

    Does that mean they take a break after each selection for some "wheeling and dealin"?

    we probably lost Johann.. that's too bad.. I thought he could develop into a good bench player for the left wing.. since we really have no one else.

    I don't see why they would: they're the only ones participating so most deals would likely be agreed upon (in principle, since rosters are frozen until after the draft) before any list was to be submitted.

    But you're right: "rounds" is an ambiguous word in this context.

    Funny. I think for the first time in history, I think we have a consensus on something.
