Montreal is in the No. 19 position in theMLS Allocation Ranking after using the No. 1 position to selectEddie Johnson.[79] The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire aU.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[80]
Montreal has 9MLS International Roster Slots for use in the 2012 season. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated 8 international roster spots and Montreal acquired one slot in a trade with Portland Timbers.
Future picks acquired: *2013 MLS SuperDraft conditional round 2 pick fromPortland Timbers; *2013 MLS SuperDraft conditional pick fromHouston Dynamo; *2013 Supplemental Draft conditional pick fromColumbus Crew; *2014 MLS SuperDraft conditional pick fromReal Salt Lake.
Future picks traded: *2015 Supplemental Draft round 4 pick toPortland Timbers.
