Christian Dean’s Second Chance?

Vancouver Whitecaps fans were hoping that 2017 would begin with the announcement of a new designated player striker, however, 2017 started like how most experienced 2016: pretty poorly. On January 4th, the Whitecaps announced that centerback David Edgar underwent successful PCL, MCL, and meniscus surgery on his right knee, after being victim of a hit-and-run incident over the holidays. Edgar is expected to be sidelined until the Fall.

Last season, the Whitecaps prominently featured a CB-tandem of Kendall Waston and Tim Parker. While both should be considered good players, the partnership was not a successful one.
