I was thinking something like 2 designated players, but one has to be Canadian, and you can't have a foreign DP unless you also have a Canadian DP. This way if Forge, Cavalry, etc. decide to roll the dice on a bigger name, they also have to lock in a Canadian outside of their cap as well.
Either way, need to find the line between growing the competition level and not pricing out teams NY Cosmos style.

I'm not huge on the DP concept MLS has. Would rather see the cap raised as a whole and the level for all players raised rather than bringing in a few big names per team.
Plus, I'm not sure what the CPL would have to offer for a Canadian DP, unless you're an aging player such as Hutchinson looking for one last big payday. Can't think of a player out there right now that would fit the bill.
