Who should the Montreal Impact protect and who should they let go?
With Atlanta United FC and Minnesota United FC entering the MLS in 2017, it is time for the league to hold another expansion draft. John Richan and I along with contributions from Sofiane Benzaza have drawn up our own list of protected players for the Montreal Impact as a preview to the upcoming expansion draft (December 13 2026).
Rules:
- MLS Expansion Draft will take place on December 13th
- The Draft will consist of 5 rounds
- Each existing MLS club will be able to protect eleven players
- Each MLS club may only lose one player
- Homegrown and Generation Adidas Players are automatically protected and do not count towards the 11
Which 11 players should the Montreal Impact protect in this edition of the expansion draft?
