The draft is tomorrow and rumours and trade speculation is swirling around the world of MLS. Word on the street is that we've already made an offer for Seattle's no. 1 pick in the draft, and I still think we'll be trading away our no. 2 and no. 4 picks.
I expect our no. 13 pick will go to O'Brian White, who would count as a domestic player for us, having grown up in Scarborough. He has, though, pledged his international allegiance.

Duane Rollins at The 24th Minute talks about the delayed growth of Canadian soccer. Like he says, it's taken a while, but with TFC, L'Impact, and the Whitecaps, we're finally getting somewhere.
The Gazette talks about how the Montréal Impact are thin at forward after the recent departure of Peter Byers to the San Jose Earthquakes.
In his MLS Hotstove, Ives confirms that the Galaxy have acquired Mike Magee from New York, he mentions that the Revs are possible suitors for Colorado Rapids outcast Christian Gomez, and talks about the draft. He also mentions that Chivas USA might make a move for Todd Dunivant after they trade Jonathan Bornstein.
Ives also provides additional information on the Van Den Bergh trade. It turns out VDB requested a move to the Hoops for personal reasons, and it's pretty cool of the Red Bulls to honour his request.
Sounder at Heart has an interview from a scout at the combine in Florida.
Steve Goff is contemplating that Omar Gonzalez will be the no. 1 pick at tomorrow's draft.

Tomorrow should be an interesting day. I'm torn between trading the picks or actually developing players.
If we trade the picks then we might turn into the Leafs ("draft, shmaft"). However, we do have some young and promising talent (Nana, Gala) which eases my concerns for drafting other young players.
In the end the only result I'm hoping for is that Serioux comes home. I also won't be too upset if we don't get O'Brian White.
