Indeed, it seems Earnshaw is not taking a DP place. I would still think he'll be on $200,000+ (we won't know until the salary figured are released some time next month) which would still be a decent chunk out of the salary cap, making it more difficult to sign anyone as a DP.
FWIW (and I don't understand the DP business) I read:
And if you are wondering if Davies will be on a DP salary; rest assured: reports indicate he will not. And even if he does come to MLS, he likely will not be available until he's gotten some sufficient rest, which may mean the middle of July.

Sky Sports News believes that SKD's now in talks with Toronto.

It's nicknamed the "Beckham Rule" as Beckham was the first DP and really the primary motivation for the salary cap exemption. Basically it was created so that MLS could attract players on high wages who would increase interest in the league.

I think she was a very straightforward person, not wanting to beat around the bush and was trying to make a couple points, unfortunately they were censored.

I'm actually unsure how much playing time he would get. Koevermans is apparently finally back in training and his scoring record in MLS is better than a goal every 2 games. Earnshaw is off to a good start and they drafted a highly regarded forward, Emery Welshman, who fits in with the Canadian identity they are trying to cultivate.

Much as I loved Kev, if he goes to Canada and scores shedloads it would be a very poor reflection on the standard of footy over there. Akin to Heskey banging em in over in Oz
