Former SKC Wizards Update

Another former SKC Wizards update a day late due to the game last night. Some big news involving former Wizards this week. First, the big announcement that one of the greatest Wizards of all time, Jimmy Conrad is hanging them up and taking a job with the Chivas USA staff. A smart move for Conrad who hasn't played since early this season due to a concussion. Now NBC just needs to hire him to be in the booth next year. Also, I can't help but smile reading his goodbye. In other former player news, Eddie Johnson was coming to MLS, and now he's not. He's looking for more money, that MLS was not willing to pay. Can't say I fault either side, Johnson only has a few really high level years left probably and is looking for a final payday. On the other side, he hasn't exactly been lighting it up in Europe and giving him DP money wouldn't be worth it. Finally, MLS pool keeper, Chris Konopka got his first MLS start for New York over the weekend when they played Chicago. Here's the rest of this week's update.

Still looking for:
Doug DeMartin
AJ Godbolt
Willy Guadarrama
Santiago Hirsig
Michael Kraus
Ryan McMahen
Ivan Trujillo
