While that was a dumb move, I think the whole Leroux thing was blown out of proportion. So many higher profile players have switched teams, it's really not a new thing and given the disparity in support and opportunity for development, it's a smart move on the part of Leroux. The Americans today but 20,000 more people in a CANADIAN stadium than we did when when our team played there. Embarrassing.

All we can hope for is that more young talent doesn't realize the opportunity and depart for the US.
