At this point in the season, losing a team's leading scorer could be devastating. However, Carlos Ruiz's abrupt exit from Philadelphia could bring on an exciting opportunity for young stars Danny Mwanga and Roger Torres.

At three different points of the year MLS Commissioner Don Garber makes the big time media rounds and talks about the future of Major League Soccer. Tonight's All-Star Game is one of those times.
