Format
[edit | edit source]- Existing teams may protect up to 10 players, but must leave a minimum of 6 unprotected. (Free agents are not included in either category.)[1]
- Expansion teams must each select one player from each existing team prior to selecting a second player from an existing team. This will also hold true after a 2nd player is selected from an existing team: each expansion team must select from each existing team twice prior to selecting a 3rd player from an existing team.
- Existing teams may protect two after losing their first player.
- Existing teams may protect one after losing their second player.
- An existing team may not lose more than three players.
- Expansion teams may each select a total of nine players.
- A coin flip will decide which expansion team picks first and fourth, while the other team picks second and third. Picking will alternate after the fourth pick.
