Well I hit 10 of 11 within minutes f the expansion draft being announced, but without all the details it appears I valued Paulo Jr. a bit higher than did RSL. So the final list for RSL is:
- Nick Rimando
- Chris Wingert
- Jamison Olave
- Nat Borchers
- Tony Beltran
- Kyle Beckerman
- Will Johnson
- Javier Morales
- Fabian Espindola
- Alvaro Saborio
- Chris Schuler
This leaves both Collen Warner and Ned Grabavoy as the most likely targets for Montreal in my opinion, but also leaves Paulo Jr. available as well as Arturo Alvarez.
After the jump the complete list of MLS players being protected by their teams:
Here is the complete list for all the teams, including all the Generation Adidas players and if they graduated this year or not:
