National Lacrosse League dispersal draft


The National Lacrosse League dispersal draft is a meeting where the general managers of National Lacrosse League teams choose players from teams that are ceasing operations. The NLL has seen many team changes over the years, so dispersal drafts have been commonplace. Recent dispersal drafts have occurred in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004, 2003, and 2002.
