Given his production (or lack thereof with no sacks in 15 games), and who we picked up in FA, I think most people saw this coming.
Best of luck in the future Zach (just not against us!)!

Smokers are not fighters, but fights themselves. It's basically an illegal fight away from the eye of a commission (picture an event held in an old smoke filled gym and that's where the name comes from). They are very common and happen everywhere, especially in the gyms that are more old school in their approach. He's training with Duke Roufus who has been accused of being abusive towards his fighters in the past.
Bisping has been saying this stuff about Punk for a little while now but he's the only source I've seen saying that. The problem is that half the stuff he says is complete horses**t but sometimes he's being legit so it's hard to say if there's any truth to it.

so deadpool did $135m opening weekend apparently breaking some records, not sure which ones though. I just watched half of it on a cam version, seems more then worth checking out at the theaters.
Definitely worth seeing. The records it broke were best February opening & best opening for an R rated movie.

At least they gave Harris the right color jersey at his press conference today.

Montreal is trying to save money as well so I'm guessing they want lower cost players and/or draft picks. Balancing out the money doesn't help them get where they need to be.

and thats why I think they might not have made a pitch for Watman, knowing your over as it is and needing to make cuts, it just makes it harder to juggle the more you pile on until you make some room
Having too many quality players under contract is a problem every GM would love to have. Cutting a guy is only one option, they can try to restructure an existing contract or attempt to trade someone (like Montreal is trying to do with Henoc).

Hearing the #Als are shopping non-import MLB @HenocMuamba. Edm would seem to be most-likely destination.

They couldn't really address it beforehand because they didn't know who they'd sign in FA. Now that they have some guys signed, they can start looking at cuts. You don't want to cut a player on the hopes they would replace them with a targeted free agent only to have that guy sign with another team.
During his presser yesterday, Walters said they knew some tough decisions have to be made but he wouldn't speculate with the media on exactly who would get cut.

I imagine this is you about now then?

boo
A couple thoughts:
1) I'm shocked the Riders aren't among those teams.
2) Huff talking to Sherritt is the pot calling the kettle black after yesterday's tirade.

Saskatchewan signed 4 guys today (Chambers, Newman, Jones and Chiles) so they are "building" in the same way we are.

Wiecek is saying Keeping turned down more money from BC to come here so he could play for MOS. Love hearing stuff like that.

Not exactly like looking in the mirror, eh?

Mitchell has another article on Huff that will be out tomorrow.

Anyone know if Andrew Jones is still available?

if walters can land JC sherritt to be our new MLB id be happier then a pig in regina
That's because the pigs are usually scared in Regina, especially when the menfolk are around.... or is that only the sheep?

Possibly Smith too.

Phaneuf to Ottawa in a 9 player deal!
#Sens get Phaneuf, Frattin, Bailey, Rupert and Donaghey in exchange for Cowen, Greening, Michalek, Lindberg and 2nd-rounder in 2017. -

Maybe in the minority but i'm not ready to give up on Trouba yet
I don't look at it as giving up on him... it's more about having to give something to get something. And if the rumors about what Trouba's looking for on his next deal are accurate, Hamonic's contract would be much more attractive to the Jets.
-
They're thanking him because he'll be picking up the dinner bill tonight!
-
Yep, forgot about Murray. That'd be one I'd bet they wish they could take back.

Great point Goalie. Edmonton ignored D. They could be a lot further ahead. Then again they got McDavid. Jets are bigger and tougher. If both teams become contenders around the same time I like our ad and goalies for the win.
I wouldn't say they ignored the D. At least they haven't through the draft where defense has made up about 35% of their draft picks over the last 10 years.
They've just drafted really really sh***y! If you look at their draft record since 2005, only Klefbom, Nurse & Jeff Petry play in the NHL regularly out of 21 picks, and they don't have Petry anymore. The majority of the other picks either never made it to the NHL or only played a couple games.
Having said that, outside of 2009, where they picked Paajarvi over Ryan Ellis, they picked the right guys (at the time) with their 1st pick.

Muamba released!

Lawless then tweeted that he was wrong. The FA date was moved last year, not this year so the "wrinkle" had no effect on Henoc's contract.
