I'll be the first to admit that I have only seen Richards play once. That's it. He looked pretty good. Only really threat Regina had. I'm guessing those who are crapping on him, probably haven't seen him play. Etienne 2.0? Ridiculous even if it was meant as a joke.

QB Willy RB off the board and go with Marshall REC Moore Denmark Logan Kohlert Richards OL Bryant Greaves Picard Chungh Mims DL Westerman Turner Anderson Johnson LB Hurl. Newbie. Newbie. DB Randle Washington Newbie. Jones S Leggett

Lol a tackle? Bro Sam Canadian gonna be injured week 1. I'm more of a linebacker type lol.

Haven't won a cup in ages but.. it's not like the team has totally sucked the entire time too, yup there were some tough years, for sure no doubt about it but there was also some years where we were or darn near were the best team in the league but just lost the big game, didn't a 14-4 bomber team lost to an 8-10 calgary team in the grey cup? We have been to grey cups, how many in the last 20 years i'm not sure but it's atleast 3 that i can remember. The team the last few years (since the kelly year) and even then we were what? 7-11? not terrible but not great, had a chance to get in the playoffs the last game of that year too but blew it huge time, but... since then yeah its been tough, the mack years were tough altho we did go to the grey cup against bc and lost... SO really, it's not like we have been doormats for 20 years, we have had damn good teams over the years, have been to the cup a few times for sure, just never won it. People acting like we have been terrible for 20 plus years, it's not really true at all, we just haven't won the last game of the year, but we have definitely had some damn good teams over that time and definitely had several chances to win the grey cup but ultimately came up a bit short.

I honestly would have no issue with them starting 8 9 10 canadians if that's what they decided to do, I mean, i don't think they would start 8 or 9 or 10 if they didn't have too, imo, they(coaches/management) want to win and if starting 8 Canadians means we have a better chance at winning, then so be it. Maybe those starting 8 Canadians or whatever, maybe they are actually better than the americans that were brought in? Nobody ever thinks of that really... Rules are rules and you must start 7 Canadians, If you can start more, it just means that 8th canadian starter is probably better than the american alternative.

I've watched lots of football over the year, CFL, some NFL, even some NCAA and CIS for that matter... the one common theme i see with receivers in every form of american/canadian football? They all drop easy catches at times, even Calvin Johnson.

4 pages about michael sam, Jesus, let's pretend he wasn't gay... still 4 pages? Could care less if he's gay or not... the real question should be.. is he good enough to make the ALS? i'm honestly leaning towards no cuz i think he's very very out of shape. I'd be surprised if he makes the team, the other part of me says he makes it for Public relations purposes tho, it's too bad really cuz if he wasn't gay, there wouldn't be 4 pages about the guy, he would just be just another training camp guy for the ALS... I guess, people talk about discrimination and stuff, well what if SAM makes the als and a player who is actually better than him and showed more than he did, doesn't? Discrimination too no? Does this guy have an advantage because he is gay?

I think it's just one blogger getting worked up, i enjoy reading that blog but at times, the blogger does tend to think every idea or blog post he makes MUST HAPPEN... I mean really, a couple weeks ago it was IF GROULX IS TAKEN FIRST, BOMBER MUST TRADE DOWN.. now it's BOMBERS MUST RETIRE NUMBERS!! What's next really... who knows but what i do know is that whatever the blogger thinks of next, well... in his opinion, it MUST happen.

Ignorance? Lol more like reality. 2010 2011 2012 1st overall. Lockout shortened 2013 7th. 2014 3rd. 2015 1st. 4 number 1 picks in 6 years. All 6 years in the top 7. Ya just the coach. Not gonna argue with oiler fans who think they are close when reality is they suck big time. Ignorance? Lol.

Just curious. If the oilers are awful this season will it be the coach or maybe the players fault? They haven't been good in a long time. Always picking top 6. More like top well first overall really. Will it be the coaches fault again?

Yak can score but like lots of oilers can't play D. That's the biggest issue there. Most are very talent in the o zone but in their own zone not so much

I could see a sign and trade scenario with Burmistrov. I see him being dealt as a piece in a bigger deal. For example buff plus a signed burmi

Concessions and rent I'd imagine at the very least.

Guess we will see what happens with a new coach and gm... Not sure if it makes that big of a difference. we will see what they add or who they try to trade for... don't think they will get much if they aren't willing to give up much.

Babcock by about 45 million.

I think it's more like if Edmonton fans want legit help on D, those untouchables will need to be moved. It's cool, i really have no interest in any Edmonton player, Eberle would be the guy i would want but i wouldn't give up a top 4 d man for him unless that guy was Buff and i doubt the Oilers do that so really it's a moot point.

Morley had a good career and is a strong member of the winnipeg community. He likes it here, his family does too. He's a winnipeger now lol.

Interesting to say the least... I suppose Technically it's Tannenbaum and Bell who own the argos but since Bell owns TSN, well.... it's an odd situation.

I think, actually judging by a recent poll or survey i know there are lots of football fans in southern ontario. I don't live there, i have never been but from the outside looking in, I'm not sure the argos were ever really a problem, i think more so Rogers screwing them around was a problem. Lets be honest here, Who wants to go to skydump to watch a football game, it's horrible for it, it's horrible for baseball even apparently so obviously it would be bad for the argos, then you throw in the fact that rogers never gave them any favorable home dates, tuesdays? what the heck is this.. who wants to go see a football game on a tuesday? You know outside of maybe WPG, SASK and probably Edmonton, i bet every other team would have a hard time selling a tuesday night game too, Rogers screwed the argos big time, Rogers Center is a gong show. It made things worse for the argos, the worst thing the argos ever did was moving in to that dome. They drew quite well when they played outdoors and they will again.

Future looks bright indeed Let's recap the past couple of months for Jets prospects.... Top WHL playoff scorer (Petan). Top WHL defenseman in points/game (at least 7 games) (Morrissey). Top QMJHL scorer (Ehlers). Top QMJHL defenseman scorer (Kostalek). Top WHC goalie (GAA, save%) (Hellebuyck).

Also don't forget about the dark Mike Kelly year.... ugh completely destroyed our team... That was many years ago now, Kelly might have done some damage to the team but... Mack had a chance to fix it and didn't. Kelly had 1 year, Mack had what? 3.. this is walters what? 2nd? And for as much heat as this may get, I think Mike Kelly was quite misunderstood, yup he told it like it was, fans and media didn't like that but... reality is, if he was given 3 years like Mack was, my guess, the team is better off now than it was under Mack canadian depth wise at least... Can talk about Mike Kelly messing up all you want but his main man was John Murphy who is now in Calgary with Huff, Murphy knows his stuff, the 'database' was legit, just never got more than a year to see what it could do.

It won't be with the Jets tho.

Yup was posted earlier by someone, This is pretty crazy actually, at least 2 other teams bid a first round pick in 2016 for Waggoner.. Tells me the kid has some skills. Like this move by Walters lots actually. Our Canadian depth has improved vastly since Walters took over, it's really crazy to think where we were under Joe Mack even Canadian depth wise to now... Night and Day for real.

I agree Ducky but will say that... it depends what happens b4 July 1st or even after July 1st (That's Free Agent Frenzy day). If we lose Frolik,Stafford,Stempniak and a few others, you could see a couple of those guys get bumped up. Maybe we see a trade involving Buff, who knows what that would return really. There are lots of variables at play here really.. got a long ways to go still. Lets assume we lose all 3 for the purposes of this post... Ladd,Little, Wheeler Ehlers,Scheif,Perreault Petan,Lowry,?? ??, Copp,Thorbs Myers,Toby Trouba,Stu ??, Chiarot/Morrissey Those question marks could be a couple of those guys you mentioned up top (Lipon is made for the 4th line but so is 210 pound Brendan Lemieux) Let's say Buff gets moved... a few of those ?? would probably be filled in with the return we get for Buff. It's really too early to say but i think for the most part your list is correct and bang on... Armia is another guy who might start in the A too or he could be on the main roster too, who knows.. Lots of time really... so much time really.. too much time really right now to say for sure, it's all just a guessing game really, and that's cool but... really, give it another month and a half and we will know more and be able to piece together a more accurate roster for the 2015/16 seasons for both Jets and Moose. There have also been rumors out there linking Mike Reilly, LHD man from Team USA world championship team to the Jets also, also linking him to the blackhawks and wild too but... That's another variable.. Kids a good player, probably would make the Jets team right away, he's that good. He's also a LHD which we lack really... Toby,Stu,Chiarot,Morrissey isn't all that great.. Put Reilly in there and bump Stu down to the 3rd pair and Chiarot as the 7th d man and Morrissey in the A and who knows...
