Available Players List

[mstreeter06]

I have a rough draft of the available players for the Expansion Draft. Please let me know if there is anything incorrect, missing players that should be on the list, or players on the list that shouldn't be!

Google Sheets to view online: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqpwVYHO6P47dDZNM1JEUldSeUJEQmhlamFvZU54cVE&usp=sharing

Let me know if you'd like me to email you the Excel spreadsheet although I believe you could import the above Google Sheets into Excel!

I tried to download... and it failed.

Some really interesting players available. I can see each of the expansion teams all getting at least one pretty decent prospect, plus some older guys who could be used well in trades to teams in win now mode.

Matt - when does trading open up for the expansion teams? Can they trade with existing teams as soon as they have selected a player?

I think we'll pause any trades until we finish the Expansion Draft.

Also just another reminder that there will be no undrafted FA claims until after the FA Draft for the expansion franchises!

LT pointed out two players that should have been deleted from the spreadsheet. Thanks to him.

Spreadsheet has been updated!

Just a heads up for those expansion teams that were chomping at the bit  ...

Ontario just messaged me that he overlooked Roberto Maillot when making his protection list. He had his computer break and was without the game for several
weeks. He'll be switching one of his protected players for Maillot in the next few hours.

Available Players list has been adjusted to reflect Ontario's switch.
