PHILADELPHIA - Canadian teenage forward Cyle Larin tops an intriguing crop of soccer talent available in an MLS SuperDraft that should see Canadian teams, with five of the first 13 picks, figure prominently. Maximilian Philipp Jersey .Orlando City SC picks first Thursday at the Philadelphia Convention Center, followed by fellow expansion team New York City FC, Montreal, San Jose and Portland.With three picks apiece in the first round, Toronto FC (six, nine and 11) and Sporting Kansas City (10, 12 and 20) will be busy whether they decide to trade selections or not.The Vancouver Whitecaps go 13th.The ball is now in Orlandos court. They have done their homework on Larin and seem more than comfortable with the young forward. Its a question of can anyone persuade them to part with the pick.Its a big day. We have the No. 1 spot, said Orlando assistant coach Mark Watson, who left more than a few marks as a hard-nosed Canadian international defender in his day. You hope to get a player of real quality.Having said that, he acknowledged its harder these days for any young player to make an immediate impact in the league.Midfielder Kyle Bekker is the highest Canadian pick in the MLS draft to date, going third overall in 2013 to Toronto. Like Larin, Bekker played for the Sigma FC academy in suburban Mississauga growing up.The draft atmosphere ramped up considerably Wednesday as coaches and GMs arrived from the MLS Combine in Florida. Coaches like Seattles Sigi Schmid and Chicagos Frank Yallop wandered through a downtown hotel lobby filled with delegates to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America convention.While UConns Larin and University of Washington midfielder Cristian Roldan have been singled out by many as the cream of the 2015 draft class, there are plenty of interesting prospects with players moving up and down as a result of the Combine. UCLA midfielder Leo Stolz, winner of the Missouri Athletic Clubs Hermann Award as the top NCAA mens player, will be an interesting risk-reward pick given the German-born Stolz is reportedly looking to start his career in Europe.There are a lot of players out there who can play in this league if you give them a chance, said Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko.I think theres a lot of talented players, added Toronto coach Greg Vanney. Im not sure if in this draft you have the one that really jumps out and says, Im going to change a team in a year or in this current season.With all three Canadian teams looking to field USL Pro teams this season, there are more minutes to go around for drafted players.Underclassmen Larin, Roldan, University of Central Florida forward Romario Williams, Syracuse University goalkeeper Alex Bono and North Carolina State defender Conor Donovan are especially attractive because their Generation Adidas contracts do not count against the salary cap.Notre Dame midfielder Nick Besler, younger brother to Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler, is one of 12 college seniors to have signed MLS contracts ahead of the draft. Those deals offer one year of salary cap relief.Coaches and GMs can be circumspect ahead of the draft, not wanting to tip their hand.But count Canadian national team coach Benito Floro as a believer in Larin, having already given the teenage striker three caps.The 19-year-old from Brampton, Ont., is fast, versatile, good on the ball and has a good head on his shoulders. He has some interesting qualities and a lot of desire to continue to grow as a player and serve the Canadian mens national team, Floro said in Florida at the Canadian team camp. He could be a good forward and striker.Larin will be busy on draft day. Hes in Jamaica with the Canadian under-20 team, which is slated to play El Salvador on Thursday at the CONCACAF U-20 Championship.I feel excited, he said in Jamaica. Im just ready to start my career in Major League Soccer and hopefully one of the teams will pick me and I can start my career in a good environment and I cant wait to just start playing.There is plenty of defensive help available with Bezbatchenko, for one, a believer that history has shown young defenders can make their mark quickly in the league.Canadian Skylar Thomas (Syracuse) joins Donovan, U.S. under-23 international Ramon Martin Del Campo, Tim Parker (St. Johns), Boyd Okwuonu (North Carolina), Oumar Ballo (UMBC), Aaron Simmons (California) and six-foot-seven Swede Axel Sjoberg (Marquette) as worthwhile options at centre back.And there is some fullback talent available too with Canadian Jordan Murrell (Syracuse), Otis Earle (UC-Riverside) and Andy Thoma (Washington) among others.Montreal has moved to bolster its defence with the additions of Bakary Soumare and Victor Cabrera after the departure of Matteo Ferrari and Heath Pearce. But Frank Klopas, head coach and director of player personnel, has shown a penchant in the past for drafting defenders and could do so again. A forward is also an Impact option.With just veteran Steven Caldwell and sophomore Nick Hagglund left at centre back, Toronto needs depth on the backline. Help at right back is needed, although coach Greg Vanney seems content with Ashtone Morgans ability behind Justin Morrow at left back.And while TFC has options in midfield, it has yet to sort out its best alignment.Bono, with his Generation Adidas deal, is also an attractive option in goal for a Toronto team looking to increase competition at every position.Vancouver, with a well-balanced squad, is looking for depth. Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi believes the 13th pick can net a player who can help right away, maybe not as a starter but certainly in the roster of 18. Other midfielders to watch include Fatai Alashe (Michigan State) and Dan Metzger (Maryland) with Jaineil Hoilett, younger brother of QPR attacking midfielder Junior Hoilett, a Canadian option.Forward talent includes Larin, Williams, Khiry Shelton (Oregon State), Andy Craven (North Carolina), Miguel Aguilar (San Francisco), Dzenan Catic (Davenport) and exciting Jamaican Akeil Barrett (Tulsa). Theres also Sagi Lev-Ari (Cal State Northridge) who has served time in the Israeli military. With Gilberto, Luke Moore, Robbie Findley, Jordan Hamilton, Bright Dike and possibly Jozy Altidore, Toronto already has an array of forwards.Weve got a good forward crew, Vanney said. So I think we need guys who can set them up and get them into good position to score goals.That search continues outside the draft with Juventus attacking midfield/forward Sebastian Giovinco and Real Betis defender Damien Perquis identified as targets.Toronto believes it is getting the equivalent of a top-five pick in Michigan State midfielder Jay Chapman, who is expected to get homegrown player status soon for TFC.Toronto has eight picks in the four-round draft which will see Rounds 3 and 4 take place Jan. 20 by phone. Vancouver has seven selections and will be looking for some diamonds in the rough with five picks in the lower two rounds.Other than its first-round pick, Montreal has a third- and fourth-round selection.Notes: Orlando City has traded forward Jairo Arrieta to D.C. United for an international roster spot. That gives Orlando 11 such international spots. Arrieta came to Orlando from the Columbus Crew via the expansion draft. ... U.S international midfielder Maurice Edu, who started his MLS career in Toronto, has signed a new deal with the Philadelphia Union.———Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter. Marc Bartra Jersey . It was the first game back in Columbus for Rangers star Rick Nash, the Blue Jackets franchise leader in goals, assists and games. He was given a standing ovation during a video tribute in the first period, but was booed loud and long after a second-period, two-handed shove up high on Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. Matthias Ginter Jersey .com) - One point guard will return, while another will sit when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit American Airlines Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks. http://www.dortmundfcshop.com/c-15-shinji-kagawa-fc-borussia-dortmund-jersey.aspx . -- Victor Bernardez tied the game with his second goal in the 95th minute and the San Jose Earthquakes drew 3-3 with Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Loui Eriksson scored the game-winning goal 1:30 into overtime to lead the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. Zdeno Chara flung the puck around the boards off a faceoff win, Carl Soderberg tracked it down and Eriksson deposited Soderbergs cross-crease pass into a wide-open net for the deciding marker. Soderberg finished with a goal and an assist, Patrice Bergeron also lit the lamp and Niklas Svedberg made 35 saves for the Bruins, who ended a three-game skid. It was nice to see our team in overtime there take charge and find a way to win a hockey game with some real good determination, said Bruins head coach Claude Julien. Bruins forward David Krejci made his return to the lineup after missing 11 straight games and 17 of the last 19 with a groin injury. He registered one shot in 18:22 of ice time. Glad I got through. Safely I can say Ill play the next game, so thats the good news, and a good step forward, Krejci said. Kyle Brodziak and Jason Pominville both supplied offense for the Wild, who have lost consecutive games for the first time in over a month. Niklas Backstrom stopped 22 pucks in defeat. Two players playing in their 700th career game combined on the game-tying goal for the Wild. Svedberg fought off Ryan Suters shot from the left point, but Suter followed the rebound and his shot went off Pominvilles skate in front for a 2-2 contest with 8:21 remaining. Just have to shake my head again. Their goalie was standing up and had no idea what was going on. Neither really did many of us, said Pominville about yeet another of his season-long fluky scores. Marco Reus Jersey. The Bruins went on the power play with 2:28 to play after Brett Sutter leveled Craig Cunningham away from the play for an interference minor, but the Wild killed it off and the game went to overtime. Boston needed just 5:06 to start the scoring as Soderbergs strong effort in front beat Backstrom. Just 27 seconds later, Brodziak emerged from the left boards, slipped the puck through Gregory Campbells skates and ripped a wrister over the shoulder of Svedberg from the circle for a tied game. Bergeron was tightly marked by a defender along the right boards, but released a knuckler that fooled Svedberg for a 2-1 lead with 2:05 remaining in the opening stanza. In the second, Minnesota embarked on a 5-on-3 power play for over a minute after Kevan Miller tripped Zach Parise 48 seconds after a Bergeron hooking call, but the Bruins defense stood tall as they killed off both infractions to maintain the lead. Both teams had quality chances in the middle stages of the third. Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeons blast rang off the crossbar with 11:07 left and the Bruins jammed the puck past Backstrom less than a minute later, but it was ruled no goal because Backstrom had it covered and was pushed over the goal line. Game Notes The Bruins won the second game of back-to-back contests for the first time this season. They were 0-5-0 in those instances prior to the win ... It was Bostons third straight game decided beyond regulation ... Wild forward Justin Fontaine recorded a game-high six shots on goal.
