I think it was discussed briefly before, but how exactly do transfers work in this league? Is there a benefit ($$$) to Cavalry selling players, or is it more of a league-controlled system? It would be a shame if good scouting and/or development isn't compensated fairly.
As a fan or Norwich City (English yo-yo club that jumps between the Premier League and Championship), one of their greatest strengths is that they have a "class A" academy, so even though they don't always play at the top level, they develop players. A major source of revenue, particularly when not in the Prem or being the beneficiaries of parachute payments after relegation, is that they develop, sell, re-invest the proceeds, and repeat.
Cavalry have a pretty good development system laid in comparison with other clubs, so it makes sense that players will be getting noticed by MLS and beyond. That really is the whole point of the CanPL, I suppose.
