Under the rules of the expansion draft, existing NLL teams could lose a maximum of two players.
Mydske — an unrestricted free agent who could still sign with Saskatchewan unless San Diego declares him as their one “franchise” player — is one of four Rush players nominated for the NLL’s defensive player of the year award in 2018.
Sorichetti is one of four Rush players in the running for the 2018 NLL transition player of the year award.
