As good as TFC were last year, they improved with the signings of van der Wiel and Auro. Outside of Atlanta, I don't think anyone is even close to their level of talent.
From the Canadian point of view, Montreal have a lot of young Canadian talent from the national team in Piette, Petrasso, Jackson-Hamel and Edwards, and Shamit Shome has been getting a lot of starts this preseason. Don't think they'll be good this year, but I'm interested in seeing what these players do this year.
As for the Whitecaps, meh. They're a Carl Robinson team and may make the playoffs or may look terrible, who knows.
