Colorado hasn’t had a goalscorer with even the modest sum of 10 goals since Deshorn Brown back in 2014, and the Rapids haven’t been in the top half of the league in goals scored since 2013. The sum total of all of the team’s offseason moves, as well as formation changes, are aimed at correcting that.

The Rapids started by shedding two would-be starting strikers, expensive disappointment Yannick Boli, and “guy who can do a job but isn’t really a top-flight striker” Jack McBean.
