It appears Matt Pickens "excused absence" from training camp has taken him to Norway:Stabaek recently named Bob Bradley as their manager and he's obviously using his MLS connections to find some players. It was pretty obvious that Pickens was going to be moved before the roster deadline on March 1st, but it appears that he's more likely to leave MLS than be traded. Assuming he's sold and not just cut so he can go to Norway (or wherever) the Rapids would get some allocation money in exchange for selling him.
