You know perfectly well that Penton meant a high pick in the upcoming draft and not a player who was a high draft pick in a past draft.

I don't think Buono would agree to it.

Except if there is a short-handed goal scored.

Actually 2 points behind Vancouver - they lost to Boston tonight.

Willy has made it clear he isn't going to re-sign with the Riders and why would Buono trade for a player who will be a FA in a week.

That's been debunked. Edwards said may have offered more and some fans translated it to did. The two offers were basically the same according a bunch of reports.

GCn14 made an interesting point at TEP that the Bombers going back to the West might have played a part in Burris' and Collaros' decisions with respect to it being an "easier" division to get into the play-offs than the West.

Three? Burris, Collaros and ??

Why does it seem far-fetched to you. He did have a number of work-outs with NFL teams.

Exactly what more could Walters have done?

It's obvious why Burris signed with Ottawa. If he signed here he would have to give up his cheerleader.

Does he turn in to Grizzly Adams in the summer time? There is like no one living in Northern Montana. Other than a few bears. Just like Northern Manitoba - no one lives there except bears. I corrected that hours ago.

A lower base salary doesn't have to mean the contract was worth less if it maxes out to the same amount.

Austin tried twice to extend his contract and Burris turned him down. .... And now back to the Austin Has No Loyalty Game. And now back to the Austin Has No Loyalty Game. http://scratchingpost.thespec.com/2014/02/a-bit-more-on-the-henry-burris-exit.html

They have an OC and a QB coach in place... plus Travis Moore is Rec coach - Burris played with him. Crandell is their QB coach, same age as Burris - probably know each other... We have an OC. And just because it hasn't been announced doesn't mean we haven't hired a QB coach. Markus Howell is our receivers coach and Burris played with him for more seasons than he played with Moore.

We had $200,000 to play with in December and still couldn't sign Henoc... ouch. We could have offered $100,000 signing bonus and not even felt it this year... dude is gonzo. What does that have to do with signing Henoc. He's trying out for the NFL. He wouldn't have signed until he exhausted his options.

The person from Facebook likely based it on Rod Pedersen's blog so take it for what it's worth.

Reilly lives in central Montana.

For what it's worth, the posters at EsksFans think there's nothing to the rumour about the Eskimos wanting Burris.

Burris may be trying to get the cost of a full body cast and iron lung included if the O-line isn't upgraded. Hamilton's oline was worse than ours and he survived.

You didn't say it but you did post the article in this thread that did (the second link in your post about how much the Bombers offered Collaros).

How do you get the team on the local news on the weekend when there are no local early evening newscasts on the weekend.

Montoya is a great back-up goalie but he's never had to carry the load since he has been in the NHL. There's no way to know whether he could sustain his play as the regular starter.

That might have been for the first season only. He also got a $70,000 signing bonus.
