This might have been mentioned already, but do we know what the foreigner rules will be for this league and/or LOVB? LOVB no PVF said three... but then someone else said two.. (so id say its not been figured out lol) The only concrete thing I've seen so far is Puerto Ricans will not count as foreigners I'd say most of the interviews I've read/heard have stated a maximum of 2 per team. I'm curious about how the draft will work though. Can they draft from European U21's? If so, a third could be one of the two "PS" players.

I’d imagine a draft will only be towards ncaa players… I’m not sure if a foreign ncaa player would count though Given how these teams are forming their rosters…. I’m not sure the draft will have much impact

I don't think they have that kind of infrastructure in place yet. And never underestimate the power of a draft, though. Especially if this league lasts past the Olympics and they raise the pay structure the way they want to.

Especially if this league lasts past the Olympics and they raise the pay structure the way they want to. foreign players dont really have any incentive or reason to be a part of a draft. I guess I meant for this season... Atlanta/Grand Rapids/Omaha pretty much have their whole rosters done.
