NLL Draft Question

[cannonslax624]

So, as of right now, if there was no expansion to be held ( I KNOW Edmonton was already announced), what would the draft order look like , including trades of the past? and Who are the top prospects this year, definite first round material?

Brodie Merrill will go first overall.

Beyond that I dunno....I can throw out a few names of Canadians that are graduating junior lacrosse, or graduating college, but I don't even know if any of those are into NLL.

Look for Luke Wiles to be high up in this year's draft. Maybe Sean Greenhalgh.

Mind throwing out a few names? I know San Jose has the first pick overall, but didn't they trade it? Does anyone know the draft order?

Top five picks as they stand now:

1. Edmonton
2. Philadelphia (from San Jose)
3. Buffalo (from Anaheim)
4. Philadelphia (from Minnesota)
5. Philadelphia

Who did Philly trade to San Jose for the #2 Pick, and who for the #4? And who are some of the top NCAA players who you think will make good box players (ala Ryan Boyle)?

[DaveatNLLLax]

1. SAN JOSE STEALTH: Traded their first round selection in the 2005 Entry Draft and their 7th pick in the dispersal draft to the Philadelphia Wings in exchange for their 4th pick overall in the Dispersal Draft.

2. PHILADELPHIA WINGS: Traded forward Ryan Ward and a Fourth Round selection in the 2005 Entry Draft to the Minnesota Swarm in exchange for defenseman Shawn Nadelan and a First Round selection in the 2005 Entry Draft.

I'll get back to ya on who I think will make some good box players coming out of the NCAA's here sometime this weekend.
