The Expansion Draft is complete and now the Lumberjax of Portland and the Rush of Edmonton have nine players on their respective rosters.

Portland picked up Mike Hominuck (Buff), Brock Boyle (Minn), Luke Forget (Tor), Ryan Sharp (Cgy), Matt Giles (Roch), Brock Robertson (Ari), Tom Montour (Buff), Nick Schroeder (Phil), and Del Halladay (Col).

The Edmonton Rush picked up Rob Blasdel (San Jose), Kevin Howard (Cgy), Sandy Chapman (Tor), Pat Campbell (Roch), Brad Dairon (San Jose), Randy Daly (Col), Scott Campbell (Minn), Cory Bomberry (Ari), and used the last pick in the draft to take (Jeff Spano (Phil).

With the Expansion Draft now over, both clubs will look to start scouting possible scenarios for the Colliegate Draft, which takes place live in Edmonton, AB, Canada on August 25th. One important thing to remember, is that the Portland Lumberjax do have the 1st overall pick for the Colliegate Draft as well which means other teams will be offering something up to attempt to get their pick.
