Trade Announcements + Players Eligible For Expansion Draft Selection

As the post title indicates, we're taking care of two major bits of pre-draft information. First of all, two trades were made under the league's expansion draft trading protocol. No teams exercised any player-for-player trades during the trading season.

The first trade saw the Web City Spiders, in need of a rebuilding effort, trade their longtime star play Rainmane to the Midland Predators in exchange for the #3 overall pick in the expansion draft. This trade will be completed when the Spiders use that pick in place of the expansion franchise.

Likewise, the second trade saw the Modernistic Union give up Juno to the Stonebridge Wolves in exchange for the #2 overall pick in the draft. This was a slightly more controversial trade, but the Wolves believe in the ability for growth in the second-year player, especially since she's leaving for a smaller market with lower expectations. The Union also hold the #7 pick, a compensatory pick, which gives them two picks in the first round.

Now, here's the list of available players for the draft, with their previous team status in parentheses.
