The National Lacrosse League expansion draft is a meeting where the general managers of expansion National Lacrosse League teams begin to fill their teams with unprotected players from the rosters of existing NLL teams. Such a draft occurs whenever an expansion NLL franchise is awarded. Recent expansion drafts have occurred in 2008 and 2007 (Boston), 2006 (New York and Chicago), and 2005 (Edmonton and Portland).
