MLS Expansion Draft Rules
Each team may protect 11 players from its 28-man roster (Senior and Developmental rosters combined)
Generation adidas players are automatically protected. (Players in this category who are “graduated” to the Senior Roster at the end of the 2006 season are not automatically protected.)
Teams may make available no more than one Senior International player.
Toronto FC may select no more than one player from any given MLS team.
Toronto FC will make a total of 10 selections.
A player who retires will not be considered part of the Senior Roster and therefore is not eligible for the draft and does not need to be protected.
Toronto FC player classifications
Domestic players – Canadian citizens or Canadian permanent residents
International players
Up to four Senior Internationals (non-domestic players who turn 25 years or older during the year).
Up to three additional Senior Internationals who would qualify as Domestic players on a U.S.-based MLS team
Five Youth Internationals (up to 24 years old); two of these slots expire at the end of the team’s 2008 season.
