I think there would probably be about a 150k-250k buffer for injuries and late signings. It's an interesting hypothetical breakdown. But it is hard to make it so pretty like that when you factor in Canadians. You're going to have backups making 100k and some American starters making minimum to 80k, with exceptions for stars like Randle, Dressler, etc. Like for example look at defensive tackle. Nevis probably got a pretty good contract in free agency but Cory Johnson may be closer to the minimum. Then the backups, Jake Thomas and Faith Ekakatie are both making closer to 100k+. And a lot of those backup Canadians we have on the roster are the same way. Thomas Miles, Mike Miller, Trent Corney, Michael Couture, Patrick Neufeld.... high draft picks or veterans on their 2nd or 3rd CFL contract so they're closer to 80-100k+ each. So that would throw off the whole hierarchical structure of the starters making the most, and each backup making less.

EDMONTON ESKIMOS @ HAMILTON TIGER-CATS
I don't believe that. We saw with Montreal and Calgary that anything can happen. Edmonton definitely didn't walk all over the Ticats tonight. That game came right down to the wire after the Ticats led for 59 minutes. All four Eastern teams look capable of winning at any time so none can be taken lightly.

2017 NHL Off Season
I'd have a hard time believing that the best Canadian players in the AHL and elsewhere would lose to the Canadian World Junior team.

Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs BC
Walker was working at second-string SAM throughout training camp so I am surprised he is not starting in place of Leggett. Especially since he was already on the roster ahead of Porter, who got more work at HB and CB. Well kid let's see what ya got. Don't **** it up.

2017 NHL Off Season
Is there an age restriction? I don't see why we couldn't have the best juniors there still, along with the best of the AHL/KHL/European leagues. 80% of players in the World Juniors end up in those leagues anyways.

Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs BC
Really liked him in pre-season as well. I think they found a good one.

Brian Walker definitely was on the field on a semi-regular basis but it may have only been in dime packages. I wasn't watching substitutions that closely.

Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs BC
It would be very surprising if they stuck with him through 2 bad games then took him out of the lineup after a decent one.

Wrestling
Lesnar is the biggest name in the company (maybe Cena) and he gets paid like it. I was on the fence about going to WWE in Winnipeg on Sept. 30 until I heard Lesnar was on the card.... then you better believe I'm going. And I'm sure there are LOTS of others in the same boat.

Didn't notice that initially but I think you have a case here, detective.
