"We learned that we’re going to lose a good player," Henderson said. "… We lost Sebastien last year. And there were other good players that we left unprotected that we wouldn’t have liked to lose, either. He’s had a super year there. We just have to make sure that we’re preparing for the next move: If we lose a guy there, how do we replace him?" Under expansion rules, each existing MLS club is allowed to protect 11 players. If one is selected by the Timbers or Whitecaps, the team losing the player can protect another. The remaining unprotected players are available to be drafted. Two players is the most an existing team is allowed to lose.
