I think most people in Portland are hoping somebody picks "Taylor" so Jermaine & Steve can both go to a new home together.

Basically the only surprise from FC Dallas' expansion draft list is that they left Chris Seitz unprotected. Considering he's been our #1 for all of last season and most of the season before that, his loss would probably be a big deal - Jesse Gonzalez shipped five goals to Houston (!) in his first match last season and never really looked comfortable in any match he played after that, which is odd considering how strong he played in the 2015 playoffs. At any rate, the only team in the market for a keeper is probably Minnesota, since Atlanta already (probably) has Brad Guzan. And if Minnesota is in the market for a keeper, they're almost certainly going for Clint Irwin over Chris Seitz. It's not a slam dunk, as Irwin has been somewhat less than his best since coming back from injury, but I feel pretty good about Seitz staying with Dallas and either continuing to be the #1 (Gonzalez is, after all, only 21 years old) or else backing up and mentoring Gonzalez. There's some tiny chance Zach Loyd gets taken, but he missed pretty much the whole season with concussion problems. He may end up being the second coming of George John, if he gets taken in the draft only to never play a single minute for the team that drafted him.

I'd take literally any other keeper right now. Look at the list of who we've had since Jimmy Nielsen... Eric Kronberg, Tim Melia, Alec Kann? They're all real bad.

I hope someone picks Tornaghi so we can promote one of our youth keepers and get them cup minutes, he's too good to be stuck on the bench behind Ousted at this point is his career. I ALSO hope someone picks Barnes but that will never happen because Houston gave him an awful loving contract that we are now stuck with unless those rumours of Owen Coyle and his bizarre man-crush buying him from us for Blackburn in January bear fruit (they won't). I'd be sorry to see Techera go but he'd be a good pickup for Minnesota if he can find his 2015 form again, and frankly we have Too Many Attacking Midfielders so something has to give. I am utterly perplexed that we both re-signed and then PROTECTED Erik Hurtado but oh well, he's decent depth and, maybe THIS offseason we'll sign a striker or two that are actually consistent and mean he'll never see the field.

He's looked serviceable but maybe I'm biased because I've only seen him play against Canadian/CONCACAF minnows. I'd say he's no worse than, say, Brad Knighton, who landed pretty firmly in NE before Shuttleworth displaced him.

The more this happens, the sooner we can dispense with having an expansion draft at all and just tossing new teams some extra Garberbucks or something so they can build rosters their way. edit: the rumour is that Mark Bloom is going back the other way, but maybe that's just Twitter speculating because he's a Georgia native.

I'd ask our Houston contingent if Sheanon Williams is any good, but considering who they had playing in that position last year literally anyone would likely be an improvement.

I was hoping that Orlando and NY2 would have been the last teams to do a draft, hopefully the two United's are the last ones to ever do it.
