Toronto FC had a couple of notable opportunities to add an extra sprinkling of Canadian talent to their ranks via this year’s MLS SuperDraft.
Kwame Awuah and Brian Wright were both off the board by the time the Reds made their first pick, but the two Generation Adidas Canada players - Shamit Shome and Adonijah Reid - were still on it as they considered their two consecutive picks in the second round. Neither were tempting enough to dissuade Toronto from accepting the $75,000 in allocation money the Chicago Fire offered to take both selections off their hands.
