While Montreal was stocking up on players in their Expansion Draft, the club's two Canadian cousins were trimming the fat as Major League Soccer held its annual Waiver Draft on Wednesday.
The Whitecaps waived three players, one of whom was claimed by another club, while Toronto shed seven names from its roster.

The 'Caps opted to part ways with Bilal Duckett, Alex Morfaw and Nizar Khalfan. Morfaw's release was known weeks ago, while Khalfan was snapped up by Philadelphia to become the only player claimed in the Waiver Draft.
On the TFC end, cuts included Kyle Davies, Matt Gold, Leandre Griffit, Javier Martina, Demitirius Omphroy, Eddy Viator and Gianluca Zavarise. Like Morfaw, it was known for a while that Gold and Omphroy would not be returning.
