The fan communities surrounding the Canadian Premier League (CanPL) and its teams are starting to rumble again as offseason player movements are starting to happen again. A common thing I've read is that people think the number of players that leave teams in the offseason is absurdly high. The feeling seems to be that a CanPL roster should be quite stable from year-to-year.

One of the things that people have discussed endlessly about the 2019 CPL season is schedule. The league had an odd number of teams and because of that it took more weeks to get all the teams to play the same number of games. One thing we don't have many of in Canada, is weeks that are good for football. The result? A really compressed and congested schedule for all the teams. Throw the Canadian Championship and CONCACAF play into the mix and the teams were really, really, busy.
