    This lacrosse goal in hockey feels like travelling in basketball. Doesn’t feel right and as I have said before a guilty pleasure of mine is seeing a said player attempting lacrosse move laid out right before he turns to deposit the puck.

    I don't agree. Schoen is the priority to me as we pass so much. We can allow Brady to go elsewhere, flip the RB position to an American along with a backup for cheaper than what we're paying Brady now. That allows us more flexibility re: the salary cap.

    Well, I like that fact that Canadian RBs have allowed the Bombers to start Americans at Offensive Tackle and even at Guard - that has been a real strength of the team.

    Where would you suggest they start these rookies? The Bombers have largely avoided the scenario of starting rookies the past 4 seasons and have benefitted from that ability. Other than exceptional circumstances like Schoen and Jackson, rookies usually start their careers as backups and work their way onto the roster gradually. Starting numerous rookies in critical positions is trial by fire, and should be avoided whenever possible.

    It’s awfully close to being high sticking. Eventually the player trying it will nail the goalie in the head with his stick and that will be the end.

    I think every kid who tries it deserves to get a stick or punch to the face....

    As a former goaltender, I hate the lacrosse goal. I’d prob take a swing at a guy if he tried that. Probably with the stick hextall style

    If it comes down to choosing between Brady and Schoen, I think management chooses Brady because he's going to cost less cap, provides them a ratio option, and has the hometown connection, which sells merchandise and tickets.

    He needs conditioning with Moose first and even then I suspect he'll be a Moosehead for rest of year because no waivers.

    There was a funny vid going around the other day of a kids minor hockey game. Kid tried the lacrosse goal and didn't get it and the tendy wound up and absolutely SWATTED him one with the stick. They were like 10 years old so it was really funny.

    To paraphrase Howie Meeker, now that’s NOT hockey.

    It's a fairly recent change, when the newest CBA bumped the minimum to 70k they made the minimum apply to all players regardless of Nationality "The CFL minimum salary will increase to $70,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2027. That minimum will apply to players regardless of roster designation — National, American and Global. Global players were previously limited to contracts of $54,000, lower than the league minimum."

    Unfortunately, it’s here to stay until the league decides to outlaw it…. And that seems unlikely because it’s always a big deal in the highlights and everyone goes nuts. Personally, I think it’s BS.

    I'd add he's weirdly insane and not a great team player?

    They aren’t getting an extra 150k, and it’s not 20-25k, I’ve pointed out multiple positions we can save north of 50k at. If we dress a rookie imp signed this year. Not if it’s a rookie imp under existing min contract or Canadian or global. So no it doesn’t. It isn’t all those vets. It’s really not that complex. They do. That’s why lol Very probable.

    14 weeks x 700 cdn is 9800 bucks. That’s less than what I get paid and I sit on my ass. That’s crazy.

    I wonder how much Hansen had been making in the German league?

    Not necessarily. Last year we re-signed Willie at the end of November but we ended up going over the cap so they either paid the fine to have more room in 2023 or his salary did not count against the 2022 cap. 3DN reported it was the club's option whether or not they wanted his 100k signing bonus to count against last year's cap or not.

    The players signed pre-January 1 likely had big portions of their salaries paid from this year's SMS.

    He was and he also considered it not worth the time put in to continue playing for such a ridiculous wage. Luckily Walters stepped up and convinced him to come back.

    Yeah...it does all add up....and if BO wants 150k more which is ridiculous and puts him over 250k which will never ever happen...anywhere u walk away and run with a first yr import for dirt cheap and his and JA' s salaries alone go a looong way to resigning who we feel is vital

    This is turning out to be a great series, not a bad episode in the bunch, mixing in Malcolm X and Ali makes it all that much more interesting. Vincent D'Onofrio plays an excellent foil, he's got a bit of Brian Dennehy in him, both in looks and style.
