The Montréal Impact finished the 2016 season on a bit of a downer, losing in dramatic fashion to hated archrivals TFC in the Eastern Conference Finals. Still, this dismay was quickly replaced with great optimism, as if a repeat of the successes in 2016 were already a fait accompli.
With training camp having gotten underway on Tuesday, and the season opener just over a month away, I look at the team’s current roster and I’m not convinced in the least. Offensively the pieces are there, and like everyone else, I’m very excited to see newcomer Blerim Dzemaili in an Impact uniform.
