Default Re: The Expansion Draft Thread

Again, I doubt there's an actual draft taking place. There's no reason for it because Seattle doesn't have to wait between picks. They submit the list of 10 players to MLS by 11 PST. MLS takes an hour to contact all the players affected and let thme know, then sends the press release and holds the press teleconference at 12 PST.

Wasn't it due at 10 PST? That's what Ives and Goff have reported.

Other blogs (Hillcrest Rd/KC) say they expect to hear something around 12:45 CST.

That would be now.
