How does our week 2 roster shape up?
I never agreed with that argument, and Mack brought in way more quality prospects, IMO, at least in his first 2 years here. It's not that open camps are unusual. It's that we run so damn many of them that's unusual.

None of the good teams operate like that. It's highly unusual that we run totally open free agent camps and charge prospects to come try-out. It's outdated. Most teams run camps but they are invite only, with MAYBE a few open ones in densely populated areas. I'd bet we run the most open camps by far. It has everything to do with everything! It's not like receiver is the only position we struggle to recruit for. Yes we have found some DBs. Every other position group is basically a desert in terms of our recruiting.

That's what happens when you recruit so heavily from open free agent camps. No one else operates that way.

2017 NHL Off Season
People don't seem to realize just how good Buff is in our own end. He can be a bit of a risk taker at times, I concede that, but almost no one is as good at breaking up the play and getting the puck out of our end. Myers is also quite good. With his reach, if the puck gets anywhere near him he is disrupting the play. He had a ton of points in his rookie year and I think for that reason people have pigeon-holed him as a purely offensive guy when this is not even close to being the case. Conversely I think Hamonic is being overrated on a pretty consistent basis. He's a good defenceman. But he is not in the same class as any of our RHD. "Defensive defenseman" is about as complimentary as saying a guy is a good shot-blocker.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
Yeah I saw all the Canadian ones and couldn't detect any major differences. I do like that VGK have gone with a unique colour scheme. People were going to criticize it no matter what so that's okay.

Yeah Carmela is pretty brutal. Promos sound fake and forced and she's nothing special in the ring. Not sure we ever see a Bayley heel turn lol

Yes. If they really want him on the roster they can make it happen. I just don't see it happening.

You don't have to actually go to games to threaten to cancel your season tickets. That's half the fun of the internet.

Yes you're right however he missed but a single game over the 2013-2014 seasons which is pretty healthy.

So how do you explain Richards making it through CIS without any injuries? Surely CIS games are more physical than CFL training camps with limited contact.

Punt returns are more about catching the ball, finding holes and utilizing your shiftiness whereas kick returns have much less pressure in terms of catching the ball and a larger focus on straight-ahead speed and following your block. It's a similar but different skillset, some can do both. Fogg got a shot at it last year and was just average while he's great on punt returns. I'd like to see him get another chance at it.

The Expansion Draft
Yeah well if I go into an NBA game for 30 seconds and shoot a 3-pointer from half court I'll have the best PPG in the league. Sample size matters.

Somehow our media is at practice watching Blaszko play and still get scooped by Farhan Lalji and Penton who is not even employed. #19? Maybe we can ask Herb Zurkowsky in Montreal to identify him.
