The 2011 MLS Expansion class, Vancouver and Portland, will take part in an Expansion Priority Draft today to determine which of them gets to select first from a number of transaction mechanisms (yes, that sounds very boring, but it is pretty important in determining how these teams will build their rosters):
The teams will be selecting from the following list, with Vancouver having first pick of the following:
· First pick in the Expansion Draft
· First pick in the MLS SuperDraft
· USL Player Priority on opening of signing period
· Allocation Ranking
· Designated Player Ranking
· Discovery Ranking
· Lottery Ranking
· Waiver/Re-entry Draft Ranking
You can hear the selections via audio on MLSSoccer.com at 4pm.
Which mechanism would you select first? Expansion draft top pick or MLS Draft top pick?
