    Technically the off-season for MLS starts the day after the MLS Cup, i.e. December 12, 2021, but for TFC the off-season starts with the final season game on November 7.

    So, we need what? I am saying

    Atleast 1 GK
    2 CBs
    A fullback
    2 strikers (1 preferably would be able to play wing aswell)

    Looks good to me. And a new coach, of course.

    We really need to fix our defence. This was our worst ever season in terms of goals allowed per game.

    no changes will be effective unless we get rid of minimum Ali Curtis, but Manning and Perez should also be evaluated, fill that spot then we can look at acquisitions

    If we don't hear anything within a week about Curtis, I think he is back.

    No doubt since it will take him until next August to make a decision about anything.

    Just off the top of my head. Buyout, trade, sell, or retire. Not good enough.

    Holy crap, Vanney's Galaxy eliminated in the last few minutes. What a collapse.

    There probably won't be anything, but if they have decided to move on from Curtis the Voyageurs should not stop them from announcing it. He should not be having a say in the impending options on players.

    I might be wrong, but it looks like TFC will have the second overall pick in the Super Draft.

    I couldn’t find it for this year, but I believe teams need to decide on options ~2 days after the season is done or after they’re eliminated from the playoffs. Not sure if these are made public right away or if it’ll be pushed back for us given the Montreal game still remains.

    I feel like it'll be postponed til after CanChamp. It'd be pretty awkward for players to be 'cut' and then still have one more game to play.

    Last year Montreal still had a CCL game and had to make their roster announcements right at the end of the season. MLS didnt require players who have had options declined to play. One of the four Montreal players who had options declined ended up making the lineup for the CCL game

    Looking at this guys feed… he is just an aggregator. Wouldn’t surprise me if his “source” for that story was this board.

    So both us & Montreal will have to do this. Was thinking maybe the league might take pity on a team that indicates its likely to make 8 or so changes but can't treat 2 teams in a cup final differently.

    We might end up having the most Canadian line up for a Voyageurs Cup final ever.

    For what it's worth, Perez said the whole team will remain in Toronto to train in advance of the Canadian Championship.
