The Vancouver Whitecaps have traded Shea Salinas to San Jose for allocation money.
It's a homecoming for Salinas, who played two seasons for the Earthquakes starting in 2008. He was a borderline player for the Caps.
With Vancouver declining the option on both of its experienced keepers today, there is some speculation that this deal is part of a larger move that Vancouver is working on, with the allocation received flipped to another team as part of a larger deal for a keeper.
