Team Protected Lists for Expansion Draft Announced
Published on October 5, 2004 under National Lacrosse League (NLL) News Release
The new Minnesota NLL team will take a major step in stocking its inaugural season roster later this month. Minnesota will select ten players from the other NLL teams via the Expansion Draft. Each team is allowed to protect a designated amount of its current roster players from being selected. Teams can either protect one goaltender and thirteen runners or two goaltenders and ten runners. The Expansion Draft will consist of ten selections. Minnesota will end up selecting one player from each of other ten teams. No team can lose more than one player in the Expansion Draft. The teams have now submitted their 'Protected Player' Lists. Please see the lists below to see which players are protected and unprotected. Minnesota will draft ten players from the Unprotected Lists. The date and time of the Expansion Draft will be announced in the coming days.
Notable names among the Unprotected Players include Philadelphia Wings forward Jake Bergey, Buffalo Bandits forward and team captain Rich Kilgour, Toronto Rock forward Chris Driscoll and veteran defenseman Glenn Clark, Rochester Knighthawks forward Kim Squire and veteran Vancouver Ravens players including forwards Chris Gill, Dan Stroup, defenseman Pat Coyle and goaltender Dwight Maetche.
