As any fan of Major League Soccer knows, the offseason is nearly as busy during the regular season. Just three days after the MLS Cup, the league will hold its Expansion Draft when the Montreal Impact will start building their team in earnest.
MLS Mock Expansion Draft, 2011: SB Nation Soccer Has You Covered
SB Nation Soccer gets ready to host our second mock MLS expansion draft.


In preparation for that day, SB Nation Soccer has assembled projected protected lists for all 18 existing MLS teams. We’ve asked the editors of our 18 team-specific sites to come up with their best guesses as to who their team will protect. Once those lists are released, we’ll then conduct a live expansion draft with our Montreal Impact blogger-in-waiting, Sofiane Benzaza.
It is our belief that bloggers who cover their teams on a daily basis are best suited to give a realistic picture of how the expansion draft will play out. We’ll also add some commentary to go along with it. Over the next few days, we’ll release our projections of each team’s expansion protected list and then host a live mock expansion draft on Thursday, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern.
