    Benny would demand a DP contract or pretty close to it and I doubt we have the funds for that if we intend to sign another top DP

    Don't understand why we didn't pick up Avila. Much younger than Clarke and has more room for improvement.
    Somewhat disappointed that we picked Hesmer up. Kinda makes me think we won't go after Kennedy and we will go into season with Saunders, Hesmer, Perk as our GKs.

    Yes but for the sake of MLS we have to have more respectable showings in CCL and hopefully this year is that.

    But I agree that its ultimately up to Garber to allow us the cash to develop the sort of depth you need to succeed in multiple competitions

    or we needed a GK to trade to Chivas plus something else for Kennedy

    People, please this is the re-entry draft. You're basically picking the scraps that fell from someone else's table. So I'm ok with the selections. But I will miss BJ. Great heart!

    Hartman was the only one we could have gotten without a fight. There is no way that Chivas or San Jose just hand over those particular guys without us giving up something major, cash or trade wise.

    Thought that too, but with the whole "Mexican movement" I don't see Hesmer fitting in at Chivas.

    I don't think he is a DP at KC, I would say he is top of the market with about 200k - 250k a year salary but we can make some room with our allocation money, and not picking up other contracts like Barret or Chipen. Tell me you would not trade Barret and Jordan for Benny. Just Saying as its a moot point since he already signed for KC. Would have loved him here though.

    Benny for Willy for a wash I wouldve taken in a heart beat.

    Neither Barrett nor Cristman were acquired in the re-entry draft. Angel was coming off a 14 goal season in New York, it didn’t work out, but it was hardly a bad pick.

    I think these picks are just fine. Now had we grabbed Conor Casey I don't know how I would have reacted to having the Galaxy Killer as a weapon. But if we have Buddle we don't really need him as I feel Buddle can create his own shot better than Casey can.

    Whoa Edson’s gone to Colorado. At least he got his MLS Cup and of course it’s odd-year Buddle coupled with being a former G so expect a 15+ goal season.

    With LD out for the immediate future, I don't see how this is a smart move
    Unless we have something lined up already.

    Or this is a very clear indicator he isn't actually going to be out.

    But you can't spend 200k+ a year on the Buddle we've seen since he re-joined LA.

    ^^ This. Dang now I sorta wish we had grabbed Casey. Oh well this just tells me that Bruce is going to pass the forward spot to the youngsters. Welcome to the first team fulltime McBean and Jose.

    Sadly the move isn't too surprising, Buddle had turned into a bit of a donkey. I expected him to be moved regardless. Hopefully this will coincidence with another striker signing like Fabiano.

    :x3:

    Going to miss Buddle just because he was a G. But he did have a poor season riddled with injuries. At least he got to finally win a cup with us. Good luck Edson, just not against us!

    Highly doubt he comes though
    Seems like he's dead set on Europe.

    Not even 2 hours and we went from
    Chad Barrett
    Edson Buddle
    Bryan Jordan
    to
    Will Hesmer
    Colin Clark

    What a day
