Staying with the two-a-day structure for the expansion draft lists, earlier in the day we looked at the Houston Dynamo now we turn our focus to the Kansas City Wizards.

KC is a fun team to figure out since they have such a young mix in their roster along with key veterans that would surely be snatched up by Philadelphia is left open.

Protected Available Exempt
Davy Arnaud Adam Cristman Roger Espinoza
Matt Besler Herculez Gomez Chance Myers
Jimmy Conrad Kevin Hartman
Michael Harrington Aaron Hohlbein
Zoltan Hercegfalvi Michael Kraus
Santiago Hirsig Eric Kronberg
Jack Jewsbury Jonathan Leathers
Kei Kamara Matt Marquess
Claudio Lopez Rauwshan McKenzie
Lance Watson Kurt Morsink
Josh Wolff Boris Pardo
Kevin Souter
Graham Zusi

Kamara will probably get protected even though he is out of contract. I kind of expect him to remain in KC as I’ve heard both sides want to reach an agreement on a new contract. Neither Espinoza or Myers will graduate from their GA contracts. We could see someone like Gomez or even Souter sneak in over Kamera if the Wizards figure out they won’t be able to re-sign him.

I am interested on Lopez though, do you protect him over someone like Kraus, Leathers or Hohlbein? He may be worth exposing because I don’t see Philly taking him due to his age and contract.

See anyone I missed on? Let’s hear it.
