Today we move another day closer to the 2009 expansion draft. Now we turn our focus to the Houston Dynamo.
The Dynamo are a tough team to figure out due to the number of quality players that are both young and old.
| Protected | Available | Exempt |
| Corey Ashe | Wade Barrett | Danny Cruz |
| Bobby Boswell | Mike Chabala | |
| Geoff Cameron | Ryan Cochrane | |
| Brian Ching | Tyler Deric | |
| Ricardo Clark | Tally Hall | |
| Brad Davis | John Michael Hayden | |
| Andrew Hainault | Richard Mulrooney | |
| Stuart Holden | Dominic Oduro | |
| Luis Angel Landin | Pat Onstad | |
| Brian Mullan | Abe Thompson | |
| Eddie Robinson | Erik Ustruck | |
| Craig Waibel | ||
| Cam Weaver |
Either way they stand to lose a good player this year. I do wonder if they will protect someone like Chabala or Weaver or maybe even Oduro over a veteran player like Robinson or Mullan. A lot of things come down to who Kinnear sees moving forward with this club going into next season.
More than likely Kinnear will protect the best players and only lose someone he can replace down the road. It’s what he always does here.
