Expansion Draft Day (R)

Adios Andy Williams. First pick of RSL.

 

********.

 

Craig Capano, please pick up the white courtesy phone...

 

Evan Whitfield is our first player protected in the draft. Not who I expected.

ARGH!!!!! F%*&%^&*%^CK

 

Again, there's really no need to protect a goalie, and who else are you going to keep? Dipsy? Scott Beute? Seriously?

Later,
COZ <-- guessing right so far

 

WHITFIELD PROTECTED?!

This draft sucks.

 

Orlando Perez is gone to Chivas #2.
I'm overjoyed.
Cap space here we come, foriegn AM here we come.

We protected Buete and Whitfield.

 

Dj to Real.

 

Okay, THAT surprised me.

 

Well that was quick. No real surprises. Actually, no surprises at all.

 

Athens, Ohio no kidding, do you go to Ohio University?

 

Countess to RSL, jeez this goes quickly.

Apparently we're done, haha. I'm so happy. We dumped some major salary (Williams and Countess) and El Falco.

RSL wanted Countess #1 but they were afraid after El Falco got selected we'd pull back Williams.

 

That was damn quick.

 

Well I guess the only surprise is how quickly we lost three players. If we had the talent to get stolen, then where is the responsibility for our poor season?

 

We're done - thank you and have a good night!

 

What is the upside of keeping Whitfield?
I guess I'll always have somebody to blame for every lost possesion, every dumb play..
argh.

 

Is there any other reason to be in Athens, Ohio.....hahaha

 

Re: Draft thread

countess goes to RSL in the third round and we're done. Gonna miss andy, but that was pretty painless.

 

The 1 million dollar question?

 

Actually, that may have been shrewd by Chivas. By picking Perez, RSL had to burn an earlier pick on Countess or risk Chivas picking another Fire player and taking everybody else off the board.
