2008 MLS Expansion Draft
Climbing the Ladder — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_MLS_Expansion_Draft I've spent some time updating that page on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, as usual MLS only released the names of the exposed players, and not both. So I had to figure everything out myself.

The last guy is probably either Conway, Kandji, or Rojas. Still don't know 5 hours later. 2) I list retired players, MLS does not. I think there might also be a few missing players on the MLS lists other than on NY. For ...
