Gabriel Gomez and Teemu Tainio could be useful players for TFC, right?

Gabriel Gomez made 280k. I would take him at half or under 200k.

He's quality

Solli might not be a half-bad pickup either.

I don't recall exactly, and maybe I am confusing with the re-entry draft, but I think everyone has to pass on the player at the current wage before they can go through again and negotiate a different wage the second time through.

Would Hertzog have been worth a looky at? GA and seems to know where the net is. You can't really lose if he's GA!

My guess is the reason he is available is that he isn't GA anymore.

I can't keep track of who is GA and who isn't anymore! Stupid MLS rules, they makes them up as they go along, I'm sure!

Where you getting this info and is it official that they will pass or an assumption from a local beat writer?

Everyone always passes in this first round of the draft. Who wants to pay a 'free' and recently cut player his previous salary (+5% I think?). Everyone planning on doing anything strikes in the second round when you can tender a much lower contract. That being said, this list is a lot shittier than I expected it to be.

"MF Cole Grossman will join Real Salt Lake when the team opens its preseason camp in January. He was the only player selected in Monday’s MLS Waiver Draft."

I have enough faith in Kreis that if he picked up someone he got good value.

well hopefully TFC can get someone that is a little more experienced than the Academy kids we have and that isn't 32+ years old and injured all the bloody time. Enough Journeymen at high salaries...
