Montreal Picks 10
The Montreal Impact started the 2011 expansion draft with a controversial move, selecting Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching over the player's objections. Ching let it be known before the draft that he planned to retire rather than leave Houston. In the only trade move, Montreal drafted Seattle's James Riley and sent him to Chivas USA for Gerson Mayen and Justin Braun.
