Default Live Expansion Draft

Accroding to the scrolling ticker at NLL.com, they will cover the Expansion Draft Live on 7/12/06 @ 4:00 PM ET. They state they will be posting the selections as they happen. I really hope this is true.

Thats good to hear, they will probably have it set up like they did last years draft which was cool. List the selection as it happens.

Props to NLL for letting us "watch" the draft as it happens. I am sure someone will be posting the list here for those that don't visit the NLL website.

Default Toronto Sun

From Toronto Sun July 12th:

Rock awaits expansion draft

By RYAN WOLSTAT -- Toronto Sun



Goalies are in high demand on the eve of the National Lacrosse League's expansion draft and that is a good thing for Toronto Rock backup Phil Wetherup.

Wetherup, one of eight players left unprotected by the Rock for this afternoon's draft, appears to be safe because, according to new Rock director of lacrosse operations Mike Kloepfer, goalies Brandon Miller of the San Jose Stealth and Mike Miron of the Arizona Sting will go 1-2 to the Chicago Shamrox and the yet-to-be named New York franchise, respectively.

Kloepfer has been in conversation with New York coach/interim GM Adam Mueller and Chicago's front office, but is not sure which players the Rock will lose.

The best bets to move are either Ian Rubel or Brian Beisel, both defenders, along with forward Rusty Kruger.

Yesterday, the NLL officially unveiled the New York team and announced the club -- to be named via an internet poll -- will play a minimum of four of its eight home games at Madison Square Garden.

an hour away from the expansion draft...so many rumoured trades...hopefully they get "posted" on NLL as live as the expansion picks.

I'm more excited about this year's draft than I was last year's when my home team was doing the drafting.

10 more minutes!!! I'm hopefull the NLL.com is really going to be "live" with the picks. If they really wanted to be more accessible to the fans, since this is being conducted via conference call, why not broadcast it over the net?

I keep reading that ticker on NLL.com expecting it to have the first pick and/or trade but it's still just scrolling that the results will be live.

I'm far too excited about this

I wonder if they are just slow at updating the site or have a 5-10minute "Chicago's on the Clock" type of deal?
