Posted January 24, 20187 yr comment_315086 Its no secret what the weakest position on the team is ... how far is Kyle Walters willing to go to acquire a top notch middle linebacker? What strategies might he use to get the job done?
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315089 I think he'll make an offer of money and possibly other perks to be paid over a specified period of time to a player that he wants.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315090 Well, I'm thinking his strategy might look something like this: Hey, wanna play middle linebacker? We'll pay you this much. I think that this is the standard strategy used in this sort of thing.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315092 Sign Konar at WIL and move JSK to MLB, preserving the ratio flexibility without Hurl.

The only issue I see is we have Ian Wild coming back to play the Will position. We need to give ourselves option at several positions to star more canadians. I’d love to see his sign Nick Demski and give him reps at his natural runningback position as well as slot. Make him an option to spell Harris at times.

Make him an option to spell Harris at times. We definitely need an alternate for Wild for when/if he gets injured. Assuming that Leggett is re-signed and JSK is filling one of our LB slots, Wild needs to be rotational or have a strong candidate behind him.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315101 I would rather sign Larry Dean as our MLB. Keep JSK at WIL. Wild as DI. Add Demski and/or NAT DL to negotiate the ratio Edited January 24, 20187 yr by M.O.A.B.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315103 During the CJOB special, Tait figured they might go with JSK at MACK and Wild at WIL this year, but I still think Walters might be a player for one of the FAs like Larry Dean or maybe even Bear Woods...? Also think Demski is on the radar...

January 24, 20187 yr comment_315107 Konar would be a no-brainer... can't see him hitting free agency though, fingers crossed I'd make an offer to Jeff Knox Jr - or gamble on Deron Mayo - value signings Otherwise, I'm fine with JSK at MLB and some new blood or Wild in a pinch For ratio - I'd target Konar, Demski, Gascon-Nadon, Menard...
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315124 Konar to BC would be my guess. Edmonton released a few guys yesterday which has to do with last years injuries and stuff, so a few guys that they would like to keep are eventually going to hit FA

January 24, 20187 yr comment_315131 I thought he was a safety, but Walters is definitely the kind of guy who would go all-out at whatever position he lines up at. I think he's still younger than Lui Pasaglia, so why not give it a go?

You know how most amps go to 10? Ours go to 11! Turn the amps up to 11 Walters!

LeFrance ended up being way overpaid which is good for him. Perhaps he will end up here one day but I think he's more of a backup/change of pace guy. I'm not really sure why Demski was't utilized more last season in Saskatchewan. He got off to a good start and then it seemed like they just never featured him again. I think in Winnipeg he would have a breakout season.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315156 #BisonsHomeComing Nic Demski, Eddie Steele, Don Oramasionwu and Evan Gill.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_315158 Demski would be a nice add and a great fit for our offense as he could line up as a receiver and a running back, Plus he can be used as a returner. (Bye Bye Lankford). I'd take Konar as a WIL or somebody like Dean or Woods as a MLB. Less interested in Sherrit due to the fact he's coming off and injury like Wild and Mo.
