(Note: To help recap the Vancouver Whitecaps offseason, as well as preview 2018, we recruited former MLSM writer and Caps expert Gareth Wolff to lend his expertise.)
There’s been a changing of the guard in Vancouver since the end of last season. Seemingly, not a week has gone by without a departure or arrival being announced. David Ousted, Matías Laba, and Jordan Harvey, three long-term servants of the club and fan favourites, are gone. So are last season’s top scorer (Fredy Montero) and one of the assist leaders over the last two years (Christian Bolaños).
A new-look Vancouver Whitecaps has some distinctly old-look problems, however.
