    does trading alvarez free up some money for cooper?

    Also is Bruno another GA player?

    trading AA opens cap room. If they give Cooper a raise most of that may come via allocation money.

    and yes it appears Bruno is GA

    Snacks Goodson is tearing it up in Norway with IK Start. Why did we get rid of this guy??

  5. Comment by Kevin Z on July 29, 2008 10:43 AM

    We didn’t get rid of Goodson. He was determined to leave for Europe so we exposed him in the expansion draft. It was an excellent decision. And yes, I wish it was him starting alongside Davino. Pitchkolan is actually a decent pairing though. His height and athleticism help out Davino who has the better soccer brain.
