And FWIW, I don't think we are the only "top flight" West team with Canadian question marks. I don't even think ours are the biggest question marks. Calgary, way more issues than us IMO ... they've got Singleton, Bergman, Erdos, Wilson, they've got to find 2 receivers to play for them between Brescacin/Parker/Durant and then they still need another starter somewhere whether it's Wiggan/Colling at DT or Adeleke at SAM. Don't know about the health status of Lavertu or Turner, but I suppose they could be factors (Turner more so than Lavertu, who I think may be finished) Saskatchewan is in just as rough shape if not worse, Edmonton has a few question marks but they're looking alright. I guess all I'm saying is it's normal to have questions that need answering in March.

Harris, Demski, Coates, Neufeld, Goossen, Chungh, Loffler Seems pretty straight forward to me. Not ideal, but I don't mind Coates as a player anyways. Don't think we have to count on anyone to make huge strides this year ... just health, which is any team. I'd love to have Muamba ... don't much care for him as a professional, but he is a good football player ... but really, the best thing you can do is make your best offer and it appears we've done that. If we don't get him, fine. Oh well.

Tell me how doing what Muamba is doing is working for him, considering how all these articles keep coming out about how he wants to sign here or here or here and yet, he's gone what? a month with no deal? Pretty obvious that when you get released at the time he did, you need to re-evaluate your expectations on market value because most of the money has already been spent. Getting released after being paid a bonus isn't a chance for you to make even more money than you normally would.

Why the hell is Muamba worth 200k a year? He's going to get paid 235k this season? Unrealistic.

Well, Marshall Ferguson doubling down on last year's trend of him posting mock drafts that make no sense. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/03/15/mock-1-0-will-alouettes-take-first/ Never quite understand his logic or reasoning. But I'll take as much draft coverage as I can get.

That much I can agree with. All I'm saying is individuals will still be individuals.

I mean ... are we forgetting that Euclid Cummings was a Bomber when all this stuff happened with him that's just becoming public now? Bruce Johnson was also a player that was suspended for drug policy infractions during his time here. It could just as easily be a Bomber next time again as well.

At first, you could just blame it on a lack of chemistry with Laine and Ehlers. Then he centered Perreault and Roslovic and they went ice cold ... now Connor and Wheeler look awful. Little has honestly been where offense goes to die. It's awful. Hopeful we're able to move his contract and bring back Stastny on a comparable deal.

Doesn't have a whole lot to do with today's game, but just generally speaking ... Bryan Little has become absolute trash.

CFL looking really bad in all of this ...

So the league knew ... but he kept playing? And only now does he get his contract voided? and the next question ... why the hell wouldn’t the league tell potential suitors about this? something doesn’t make sense here.

I'm actually shocked people are upset we gave up a first round pick. Who cares? Why?! The way I look at it, even if you figure we got "ripped off", for lack of a better term, we could afford to. We don't have room for all the assets we have, so we had to either lose some or condense them in a package for something like this at some point. We just stacked our top 9 even more for a Cup push and got two young superstars a possession positive defensively responsible playmaking center that should work very well between them. Erik Foley gone? So what? Where would he fit in our lineup? We already don't have room for Vesalainen without making some moves and we're about to lose Petan for nothing next year ... so who cares about Erik Foley? We didn't lose Samberg, Vesalainen, Stanley or Niku ... we are a Cup contending team that made themselves better today and all it cost us of note is a (probably) late first round pick. What I'm really wondering about ... if Stastny turns out to be a fit here between the two young Euros ... do we look to bring him back on some term next year if we can maybe move Little out? I would assume that at 32 years old, Stastny would probably come a little bit cheaper and Little doesn't necessarily seem to be a great fit for the roster around him anymore.

Dunno if I can make it, but snagged tickets to the 40 and the 1 on 1's

Yeah I figured he'd want to head to Ottawa too.

we did? Why? Because there's a shuffling of the deck chairs coming in the minds of some rabid forum posters?

I hope Denmark ends up on our team in some capacity at some point. Smart player like that seems like he'd be made for coaching.

It must be so much fun being just the most miserable ever.

Imagine the weird turn this offseason could have taken if LaPo had taken the HC job in Montreal and we replaced him with Mike Riley.

In time, it's easily possible. Very good MLB pedigrees on both of them, as well as JSK.

I tend to think he ends up in Ottawa.

What makes him Canadian?

I remember noticing DiManche and Washington on a list of players followed by Ted Goveia on Twitter a year or so ago ... also had a few other interesting names on there too. De’Mornay Pierson El (Nebraska), Charles Nelson (Oregon), Denarius Moore (NFL)

Lol the Bombers already signed Washington, those cheaters

CFL shouldn’t get going any earlier than May. I’d be fine with regular season games in June, could make Canada Day a destination weekend a few weeks into the season.

If we could land Cibasu, I’d be happy ... something tells me he’s top 4 though.
