    I see Gaudette got called in for international duty with Puerto Rico. I recall Saunders playing for them too in the past. I don't think either guy has any Puerto Rican heritage, but maybe I'm wrong. What are the rules for playing for Puerto Rico?

    Since 2008, they have a 2 year residency requirement. Gaudette played for the Islanders for 3 years so he met that requirement. Saunders only played 1 year for the Islanders, so he doesn't meet that requirement which is why he hasn't played for Puerto Rico since 2008.

    Aren't PR eliminated from qualification already? What's the point?

    I really apologize...but I couldn't find any thread related to your ex-players and I don't think it needed a brand new thread. Really what should I have done here?

    I just wanted to point out that this was nearly two years ago the last post before you necro'd it.

    I completely understand...but what is your suggestion (if any) so that I don't make folks mad at me? Was it completely inappropriate for me to necro'd it??? I thought that the link that I provided was applicable here, no?

    New thread would have been fine, but what's done is done.

    It was.
    Nobody's mad.
    Relax - this is a low key board. Thread nazi's are few and far between. I *think* Hachiko was just making an interesting observation and not intending to criticize.
    FWIW, I think this recycling a thread is better than thread proliferation, but that's just me.

    yeah thanks, I'm inclined to always recycle when I can...but there are these nitpicky thread folks who always go completely bonkers when there is any necro going on. But yet I've seen the Mods remove new threads with no explanation as if the money for a new thread comes out of their pocket. Sometimes BS can be a strange place.

    Thank you @The Cadaver . Anyway, that's good for Bill. Let him try coaching a team and if he's good, he can make a career of it.

    I'd suggest not worrying about anything said by Hachiko no matter where you are on Bigsoccer. Thanks for the news on our ex keeper.

    It might be interesting to maintain a 'Former Galaxy Players' thread, but if memory serves, we used to have one. A catch all for things like this.
