Someone with some name recognition, but that won't kill a CPL club 10-0. Someone like Rangers, Club Brugge, Feyenoord, etc.

North American pre-season tours are getting popular with European clubs. I could see it happening eventually. The only downside is that it would fall mid-season for the CanPL clubs, but whatever - rotating the squad and giving some guys some time in a friendly is never a bad thing.
I actually travelled to Portland to see Norwich play the Timbers a few years ago, so you'll get a lot of curious locals, some fans from the visiting club, ex-pats from various places, etc. Definitely a good idea that should happen eventually.
