Colin Unger

And without Collaros what do we do in an emergency then?

And?

I would wonder if we wouldn't be interested in Cleyon Laing given the move to an all import secondary.

That's good to know. I still don't see him being willing to play on that contract especially if he win the Grey Cup.

If Oshea is going to move on I'd like us to consider hiring Tommy Condell and acquiring either Dane Evans or Jermiah Masoli in the offseason.

Montreal will be a good test of the Hall vs not Hall difference as they shredded him last time.

Imagine the reaction if collaras played for Winnipeg and beat the riders in the playoffs?

There’s added value in trading for him now too because you can get a feel for if gonna he the guy and you can potentially re-sign him in the offseason. These days teams are trading assets just to get an early chance to sign a qb.

With Morrisey back skating and Niku getting his conditioning up I don't see the need at the moment. I also feel like Dalstrom should also factor in ahead of Bitetto.

Yeah.. And this was just the scraps left over in the semi-pro leagues. Starting next year teams will be able to draft global graduating NCAA players. That talent pool is growing by the year.

I would pick up MBT in a heart beat if the price right.. However we need to be hanging on to our draft picks to get into the Masoli sweepstakes this offseason.

Odds are greater that he would do it now then back when they couldn’t gaurentee that Nichols wouldn’t come back this year and he was being asked to back up Streveler. He can certainly learn enough to play 60% of the reps and have Streveler come in and do his package as well. He’s played for Lapo effort and had his best season under him.

Arbuckle also a free agent

What this team needs more than anything else is a quarterback. Nichols is ok when he’s healthy which isn’t very often. Streveler is too young and inexperienced and also I think has questionable arm strength. If there’s one thing that would affect change it would be to have a legit starting quarterback. Should be several better options available this offseason. I’m not against changing the coordinators but there’s little point to it if we come back with the same qbs.

If only Laine, heinola and Appleton owned their ahl together. They could be the AHL line.

Pionk looked pretty good to me. If we got Buff back and Niku i feel like we might be ok.

He's definitely the crown jewel of year one of the canadian global initiative. In future years I believe the main source of talent is going to come from NCAA grads who qualify as Global players.

Im aware he's German and not Canadian. Not Cool! Clearly what i'm asking is whether or not a Global player is basically treated like a designated import or whether they could come in for a Canadian starter.

Lets hope Ritchie Hall is a scratch for the game. If you can't practice you can't play! The bombers are considering changing the ratio with Alexander taking reps at safety. Does anyone know if Thedric Hanson could be part of a rotation of having himself, Kongbo, or Thomas on the defensive line at all times or if he basically counts as an american?

Moose should be decent this year. Especially if Comrie gets claimed and Berdin is the goalie.

I'm not sure the Jets wouldn't have been open to a longer term deal with Laine but it wouldn't have worked for the cap because the dollars would have had to be a lot higher. I think he has the desire to become a better two way player and he's certainly made progress in that regard. Its just that with his goals being down last year and him being in his third year people actually were focusing a lot on his two way game. When you're a rookie and scoring 40 goals nobody cares. It takes time especially coming from the large ice surface to the NHL game and after being such a good goal scorer at every level he was probably never pressed too much on his defense until he got to the NHL. He's learning and yah is probably frustrating for him but i believe he's going to get there in time. He's still a kid. He's the same age as Logan Stanley and I'd argue he's better defensively for a forward than Stanely as an NHL defensemen right now.

I just watched the overtime and man was that fun to watch. The energy felt like it was a regular season game. Morrisey is going to have a monster year especially if Buff isn't apart of the team and he on the number one power play unit.

It could be that his defense doesn't produce a lot of turnovers and his special teams doesn't provide good field position either.

There won't be an opening unless Paul Lapolice gets a head coaching offer. But if that happens i defintely think BC would have the edge in hiring Maas and Buck Pierce would take over in Winnipeg.

That one makes the most sense to me. That he would maybe miss the first 20 games or something. I can’t imagine it’s a case where he wants to play but doesn’t want to be a part of this team.
