February 14, 20178 yr comment_249505 We haven't lost any big pieces, if we can bring back Denmark or sign another receiver of his caliber, and bring in LaFrance I'll be happy with free agency.

They traded Jackson + Williams for Shaw + Spencer, Kanneh for Jefferson and ... added some Canadian depth pieces? I don't love our day either. But meh. If Williams comes back healthy and not missing a step, he will be the biggest thing ottawa lost today IMO. Jackson+ Williams > Shaw+Spencer all day every day (Kanneh and Jefferson are a wash) it might come down to $. Listening to Desjardin before FA opened he said, most players look for a big pay day after a GC win. I can see this being the case here So I guess the question is; Do you over pay for the extra production, or keep yourself cap friendly while dropping off a bit talent wise
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249508 I think today has been a very good day, sure we lost some pieces but we gained some and extended a big piece , days not over yet and some nice players are still unemployed.
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249511 You also can factor in Oko as a big free agent piece. With him, Westerman and Nevis alone our D line is going to be huge upgrade. Rotating Corney in to keep em fresh and they will be lethal. Heck I would even consider 3-4ing them and get Corney doing a lil rush end ala ty Jones back in the day coming from all kinds of spots on the edge or even from 3-4 yards in depth ..lotsa possibilities now.

That's a huge factor... if you thrown him into today's free agent signings... I believe we immediately become on of the FA winners again...

Well we went into the day without a lot of holes to fill. So exciting splashy signings were just not likely. There are still a few things that can be done to make this team better. We'll see what happens.

February 14, 20178 yr comment_249519 I'd still like to see LaFrance and Denmark sign here but otherwise pretty pleased with how the day has gone. Very happy about Nevis and the Chungh extension.

Very happy about Nevis and the Chungh extension. We've got enough import receivers on the roster but there was so much natural chemistry between Denmark and Nichols last year that I hope they find room for one more.

Im definitely excited of our Dline potential right now, Okpalaugo and Nevis are pretty damn good signings, but I was equally as excited last year when we signed Sholo and Cummings, so I'm holding out on a total fan boi rager at this time lol
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249524 Happy with the signings today and leading up to today, some work to do filling the gaps at LB.
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249527 Jim Bender says "Bombers making good moves, but they need to sign one of the FA QBs like LeFevour".....no. I don't want washed-out QBs around here just because they "have experience".
February 14, 20178 yr comment_249528 ...............and the Als free agent day just went by the wayside Habs steal the spotlight. Edited February 14, 20178 yr by bustamente

February 14, 20178 yr comment_249533 Nevis. Coates. Hurl. In on a couple other depth pieces. I thought we did alright Walters said he'd look at DL CDN Rec and depth... that's what we have seemed to done. I'd guess we go DL 1st overall on may 7th Edited February 14, 20178 yr by Goalie

February 14, 20178 yr comment_249538 Serious question. Is Richie Hall even gonna be our DC this year?
