Current Situation
Las Vegas has:
Ramiro
LeClair
Ferguson
Flimjollywop
Wraiths 6th
And Las Vegas lost:
Their 1st, 2nd, 4th, next years 2nd, and "future considerations"
Wraiths can now protect all 12 of thier remaining active players
Other situation:
If they waited until after expansion draft, lets say Wraiths protected Ramiro, LeClair, and Ferfuson but left Flimjlllywop exposed.
Las Vegas:
Drafts Flimjollywop in expansion, and one more other wraith active player.
Las Vegas trades that other active player and only a 1st, 2nd, and 4th for Ramiro, LeClaoe, and Ferguson
In this scenario, Las Vegas would save a pick and keep all the same players. There is a cost that the Legion are paying by making these trades before the draft. Period.
But is it guarantee that the other expansion team won't pick Flimjlllywop before Las Vegas?
