May 13, 201411 yr comment_50328 Something triggered this if they take Lavertu. Perhaps Federkeil is retiring too. Bryant - Peach - Jones/Lav - Lav/Jones - Wilson Edit: They also have Craighead... Five Canadians... Bryant going somewhere?
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50330 desjardins is really really stupid. What a dumb move, i'd get it if they got calgarys first round pick but not even? wow, just wow really. It's not a huge move, if this is the type of offer walters gets for 2, id keep it.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50331 The league should void this trade and have Marcel committed immediately.
May 13, 201411 yr Author comment_50332 I'm going on record and predicting Calgary moved up to leapfrog Montreal. I think it's for Pruneau.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50333 "Hi Marcel, my name is John Hufnagel. Could I just get you to bend over that barrel right there? Thanks. Here I come!"
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50334 I'm going on record and predicting Calgary moved up to leapfrog Montreal. I think it's for Pruneau. I could see that. Calgary needs a safety.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50335 I'm going on record and predicting Calgary moved up to leapfrog Montreal. I think it's for Pruneau. I really really hope you are right.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50336 I'm going on record and predicting Calgary moved up to leapfrog Montreal. I think it's for Pruneau. Great move if it is. They have Hecht/MacDougall right now, and I'm not sure either is capable.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50337 I'm going on record and predicting Calgary moved up to leapfrog Montreal. I think it's for Pruneau. i'll agree with this also. I just don't see calgary needing lavertu.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50338 There's no question that Jon Gott would be a better Centre RIGHT NOW for Ottawa. From that perspective, the move makes sense. They use a pick to get their starting centre, and probably a better one than they would have if they kept the pick. The question is, how long will Gott be there, and will he be better than Lavertu long-term?
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50339 Got to like what Calgary did want a guy move to the place you 100% you are going to get him.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50340 The league should void this trade and have Marcel committed immediately. I thought he was, he's in Ottawa

They have Hecht/MacDougall right now, and I'm not sure either is capable. It just makes sense. Like I said on Twitter I don't think 1 was the goal, I think they dealt to get ahead of Montreal AND BC, which they did. Why would they deal a guard to draft a center to move their center to guard?

The question is, how long will Gott be there, and will he be better than Lavertu long-term? the odd part to me in this trade is not getting a pick back, the trade is fine but... it just kind of boggles my mind that ottawa didnt get a pick back from calgary.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50344 Plus if they need Hage in a pinch for the stretch run would be an excellent option.

Like I said on Twitter I don't think 1 was the goal, I think they dealt to get ahead of Montreal AND BC, which they did. Why would they deal a guard to draft a center to move their center to guard? Means Bombers likely had shot at Gott for our number 2 pick under your scenario.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50346 Plus if they need Hage in a pinch for the stretch run would be an excellent option. Hage is retired.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50347 Wonder what BC and Montreal were offering for the second or first pick
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50348 Plus if they need Hage in a pinch for the stretch run would be an excellent option.Hage is retired. Not officially, he never signed the papers.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50349 He can say that now. But if the Stamps are rolling and need help I am sure he would think about it.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50350 I'd bet that Hage chooses play to this season. He just didn't have any interest in playing for Ottawa.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50351 i thought prior to being selected by ottawa, that the rumor was hage would rather retire than play for the redblacks. them trading him kind of confirms this thought. Thought i heard this a few times prior to the expansion draft.
May 13, 201411 yr comment_50352 Hage knows all about Desjardins... they were in Hamilton together, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had rubbed him the wrong way at one point or another.
