Last summer I wrote an article that explored when MLS teams should be interested in CPL players. The main thesis of that article was that we don’t know how CPL performance translates to other leagues so decision-makers should be careful about what players they consider signing. But the Whitecaps got brutally owned by Pacific F.C the next day so I don’t think the world was very receptive to that message at the time. But we have now completed the CPL’s second full season and, by my count, 12 players have played significant minutes in both leagues. So I thought it might be a good time to re-visit the concept.
