Ryan Finley and Jose Gomez are probably the two most prominent players looking to make an impact in January. Both are Hermann Trophy finalists, an award won by Portland's own Darlington Nagbe.
Some notable exclusions, however, would by Mikey Lopez and Walker Zimmerman. That doesn't mean they won't be included in the SuperDraft, but rather that they know their MLS future is secure with a GA contract.
Are there any players on this list that you would like to see?
