Expansion draft An expansion draft , in professional sports , occurs when a sports league decides to create one or more new expansion team s or franchise s . This occurs mainly in North American sports . One of the ways of stocking the new team or teams is an expansion draft . Although how each league conducts them varies , and they vary from occasion to occasion , the system is usually something similar to this : Each existing team is told it can " protect " a certain number of its existing contracted players by furnishing their names to the league office on or before a certain date . The expansion team ( s ) then are allowed to select players not on the protected lists in a manner somewhat similar to an entry draft . There are generally a maximum number of players that can be selected from any one team , at least without the team losing the player receiving something in compensation such as a future entry draft pick . The teams subject to losing players are going to put all of the players they truly need on the protected list . This means that the expansion franchise is usually left to choose among players who are old , injury prone , failing to develop as the teams had intended , or perhaps so highly compensated that a team wishes to remove them from the payroll . For this reason , expansion teams are often noncompetitive in their early years in a league , although the advent of the free agent system has modified this somewhat . Most teams seem to try largely to make a team which will serve until it can begin to develop its own talent , although occasionally players discarded by their old teams benefit from the change in environment and become stars , either again or for the first time . A similar process occurs when an existing franchise is disbanded and the players contracted to it become available to the remaining teams ; this process is referred to as a dispersal draft . Expansion Drafts . Baseball . Baseball expansion was initially hastened by the threat of a competing league , known as the Continental League .
