Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl has got the scoop on the 2016 MLS Expansion Draft: the mechanism with the Uniteds of Atlanta and Minnesota will stock their threadbare rosters with goodies from around the league.
The simple fact there will be an Expansion Draft is news in itself, and Wahl reports some aggravation in front offices around the league at the vacillation over whether or not the 2017 intake to MLS would be granted the same privilege as prior expansion teams. Clubs have roster planning to do, and not even knowing for sure whether they would be raided by the league's newcomers was surely a very difficult uncertainty to adequately plan around.
