National Lacrosse League expansion draft
The National Lacrosse League expansion draft is a meeting where the general managers of expansion National Lacrosse League teams begin to fill their teams with unprotected players from the rosters of existing NLL teams. Such a draft occurs whenever an expansion NLL franchise is awarded. The most recent expansion draft was in 2019 (New York Riptide and Rochester Knighthawks). Before that, there were drafts in 2018 (Philadelphia Wings, San Diego Seals), 2008 and 2007 (Boston), 2006 (New York and Chicago), and 2005 (Edmonton and Portland).
