Ill say this, as much as i liked Nichols last game, if Nichols isn't going to sign with us next season, still think he does, but if he doesn't... I'd be willing to trade for Glenn, he's good insurance, probably the best backup in the league when healthy and actually knows his role. Don't think it would take much to get him out of riderville, maybe a 3rd round pick even, don't think i'd offer more than that but... if Nichols decides to try to be a starter elsewhere, I'd consider making a move for Glenn.

Watched it last night also and thought it was pretty good. Definitely sounds like Petan,Ehlers and Armia have a good shot this year to make the team. Thought chevy actually spoke more highly of Petan than he did Ehlers, Petan really impressed the coaches last season he said during camp and i think if he has a similar camp this year, he's gonna make it. It wouldn't shock me to see Ehlers not make the team and go play in Europe for a year.. all sorts of skill there but not sure if he's ready yet... also of note was they are pretty far along in contract talks with Ladd, my guess, a deal is done shortly and with Buff, basically in the preliminary stages... also have talked to scheif trouba and lowry about deals too, impression i got was theres going to be one long term deal and 2 bridge deals there.

Just see no reason to be overly concerned about anything, this is really just a tourney to get some rest off, call it a tourney doesn't even make sense as the winner of the tourney is nobody... i mean, no real awards given out at all, It's to basically get your game legs and hands back in time for main camp and for some guys on tryout contracts to make an impression.. Petan,Ehlers,Lemieux have all shown flashes at times, Olsen too, They have all shown lots of skill out there, De Leo also.. Nothing is on the line here at all, It's all about basically avoiding injuries and getting your legs and hands back in time for camp... the guys who will be at camp, some will probably be sent back to junior. But what it does show me, Is outside of Morrissey and Kostalek and even Nogier, we really do lack D men.

Keep in mind. Jets drafted lots of NCAA guys who aren't there also.

8 10 and in the playoffs is what I see. Only real difficult games we have left are against Edmonton once and Calgary. The rest are all very winnable.

They do and are apparently going to be back next season. Believe the hold up was not wanting to wear white road jerseys

4 1 loss. Poor kbf. No McDavid for you. Oilers pulled him from the tournament

10 carries for 42 yards is not good enough. I hope walters and the scouts are looking for a RB right now. They can do so much better than Walker. Anatolin is out there, as is the guy caglary just released, IMO, both better options than WALKER. Keith Tolston i think his name is.

Starting to agree with Curt Henning here.

No marching the field at all, 2 big kick returns by Rainey set them up.

I'm not putting the running up the GUT on walker or marshall, that's on MB... those play calls frustrate me to no end, MB called a good second half but... man oh man, those runs up the middle are just stupidity.... STUPIDITY.. had to capitalize it because, effect. LOL.

Watched it a couple of times now and i don't see a deflection, i see a ball that was thrown slightly behind the receiver but adams did get both of his hands on it... he should have had it...I would put that one on Adams for sure, any time the receiver gets both hands on the ball and doesn't come up with the catch, it's on the receiver.

5-0 loss for the blue birds today. only 3.5 up. Don't think theres any doubt the jays make the playoffs, but not convinced they win the AL EAST.

Well, when you say could be 500,000 and then say closer to 450,000 or whatever it is now... that's a pretty big difference. 300,000 with bonus money for Henoc? He might be good but he's not that good in my opinion, I want Henoc back as much as anyone but giving him anything close to 300,000 with bonus's is way way way too much.

Just saying but anyone who thinks we don't have a chance to make the playoffs should be watching the BC game, they are done without Lulay... they weren't good with him but they are awful without him, Ottawa has improved but they aren't legit contenders in my opinion and they are making BC look awful... Honestly... I think BC might be the worst team in the league right now. Yup that includes SASK also. They just aren't good, and Montreal ain't nothing special either. Honestly, if i'm a betting man, I'd go ahead and put a few bucks on the bombers making the playoffs.

No to Williams, willie or veltung would be my choice but i think Moore will be good to go next game, pretty obvious he had a shoulder injury earlier in the game popped out and probably popped it back in again but... apparently it's a lower body injury that took him out of the game for good. Landed funny i guess? Cuz honestly, didn't notice how he got hurt. Bigger question is... when do we say enough with Walker, dude is awful, just terrible,, one nice play by him last night tho, could have been a lot nicer if he decided to actually turn it up field instead of going to the sidelines to avoid the hit... nice little pass out to him, nice gain but... if he turned it up field instead of heading to the sidelines, he had a lot of space in front of him.

I don't really think it was that big of a deal but it proves to me that austin is kind of a ******, i don't care if it's stala or if it was someone else, it's irrelevant. The point is the coach should not be getting involved at all and then to play dumb and pretend it didn't happen only to be called out on it because it was caught on video, it makes austin look like an ass really. Love some of the responses because god knows that if Oshea did this, the same person or people saying whatever big deal, would be crapping all over him.

It may just be because he was just traded but Nichols seems pretty happy to be here, Like very happy, saying it's the happiest he's been since college really... I think there is a very real possibility that if we treat him good and make him feel like he's wanted, that he stays here. Willy,Nichols, 3rd stringer... That's pretty good QB depth for sure. Really, release Marve,Brohm and a couple others and you basically can give Nichols his 200 k plus... Release a few others and you can give Henoc his 250,000 plus also. I don't see it as an either or situation, i see it as I want both and I think theres ways to make it happen. I just don't see how we could be anywhere close to the cap, i just don't see it. The talent just isn't there yet.. we don't have many elite canadians outside of westerman really and Kohlert... Hurl might be getting paid good money but we didn't break the bank to sign him. Why not both.

One good half doesn't prove anything. I dunno how in demand Nichols would be honestly. He's been around a while and we got him for a 7th or 6th rounder. He's a good backup but I'm not sure a team would make him their starter. 200 K plus bonus money for starts is what I'd offer him. Muamba Nichols Wild. .. why not all 3 really. Other teams have guys making big money. Why can't we.

A backup that gets 250 000 a year? Doubt it. 200 000 at the most.

Don't care but there's no way we are that close to the cap. I just don't see how.

Reffing was a joke. So was suitor on commentary. Such a rider Homer.

It is hypothetical for sure. There should be another option also. Both.

Well he was using the smelling salts before kick offI bet riders wished they had traded for Nichols a few weeks ago but it sounds like Glenn is ready to come back He was also a little more animated on the sidelines than normal. Got in refs faces several times.

6 2 as a starter this year. I don't think he's better than willy but a Willy Nichols 1 2 is pretty Damn good. I'd take Henoc tho but honestly why not both. Cut brohm and Marve and there's Nichols salary really.
