You want the GM to make the team stronger for sure but theres no guarantee that trading for let's say Winnik, since there has been interest in him, makes us any better than what we are but it could make us worse over the long term depending on what we give up to get him. I want a smart GM, a guy who will only pay so much and not overpay for what is obviously going to just be a rental, would suck to give up a pick (dont think we move a first or second round pick tho) and a prospect who could turn in to something very good for a guy who more than likely will be gone once free agency hits. I would give up a 3rd for winnik, maybe a 3rd and postma or burmistrov depending on how the Jets feel about him and nothing more.

Just like Holmes signed with the Argos today, Heenan could sign with SASK tomorrow or b4 free agency begins even. Who says he wants to stay in SASK? Has he come out and said that? If so, what's the point in even trying to sign the guy if it's a foregone conclusion that he will sign back with the Riders. Seemed like lots of folks believed Holmes would go back home to Ottawa and he didn't. If these guys don't make it to free agency, Holmes didn't, Heenan still might sign with SASK before free agency begins, what could Walters do really? No pressure at all. Not until Free Agency Officially begins. If Heenan makes it to free agency and we give him a big money offer and he still goes back to SASK, what could you do really? Nothing. Free agency in the CFL is interesting for about 5 minutes, It's actually interesting up until all the guys the fans want the bombers to go after sign back with their original clubs before free agency even begins. As for Heenan and the Riders, if he signs there, he signs there, what can you do really but... 3 NI receivers and Emery +3 starting Canadian oline = 7 starters. Getzlaf at 225k? He'd have to be released and i doubt that would go over well in SASK.. he's a local boy. At 225k, what team would trade for that contract?

Must have given him a fair amount of cash, one would assume these guys would at least test the market before signing. Interesting for sure. Probably means Heenan is going to get paid a ton.

what about that highly rated D lineman? take him at #2 and then 2 OL. Rumours are he may be NFL bound. High as the 5th round even. Waud

Watson apparently threatened retirement if the bombers wouldn't trade him. According to lawless on twitter. Bombers win this trade for sure

Team just isn't play the same as they were b4 the break. Not concentrating on D. Too many like 10 too many odd man rushes. Hutch played well tho

Also wonder if earnest Jackson has told the Lions he's going to move on. No reason but just thinking out loud really.

Hate to say it but 4 or 5 concussions and a huge injury to another part doesn't bode well for him lasting long. Good luck to him tho

Watsons only negative was he couldn't stay healthy and everyone on here knew that long b4 he was traded.

Wild Heenan and Dressler don't seem that far fetched lol. Not serious about Dressler but wouldn't surprise me one bit

Watson is 31 or going to be. Has injury issues. Love him when healthy but couldn't stay healthy. 4 picks in top 20. 3 in top 15 plus lots of salary opened up. Solid move really. Thinking Demski or Durant at 2 is very possible now

Pav was awful but the entire team was for 2 periods too (1st and 3rd). They were darn near dominated in those periods by a team playing without it's 2 best players and best goaltender.

Stewart would look nice next to Kane and Lowry, Stafford might also. Tough to say with those guys how good they would be since they are playing on a bad buffalo team. I'm not sure what it would take to get Stewart or even Stafford but i believe the rumor going around last year (we apparently tried to get stafford) was Buffalo wanted Burmistrov plus a pick. (believe it was a 1st) I don't see that still being the same value but.. maybe Burmi plus Postma for Stewart or Stafford gets you one of them. Think that's a fair price too. Not sure there is room for Burmi next season here and don't see Postma being as good as some other people thinks he will be. I think if it takes Burmi plus Postma, they do it. Can think what we want about Postma, it's irrelevant, all that matters is what the Jets Chevy and Maurice think of him and him being healthy scratched the last several games (might be more than 10 ) suggests they aren't as high on him as some fans are.

No Donny O, signed a new deal with the ESKS so can scratch his name off the list.

Whole team sucks vs the pens. They just dominated us tho for the most part

Only 22 shots for and only like 4 in the first. Whole team was still on vacation and so were the refs

Lewis is done. No interest

Screw right wingers. Jets need to buy a ref. No power plays? Whole team looked flat not just pav.a pens team minus Crosby and Malkin dominated us

Ottawa will probably overpay a receiver or 2

19-15 hutch

Not needed and carries a hefty contract. 4th liner at best. 2.5 million

Not needed and carries a hefty contract. 4th liner at best. 2.5 million

And the Kings have a rich owner too. This isn't about Chipman and Thompson. It's about a bad contract

Trading for a guy and him signing an extension and then sucking in training camp not winning a job is a bit different than what happened here. BANKS was cut cuz he didn't want to be a backup actually. Banks actually asked for a release did he not?

Kassian has been like Postma tho. Healthy scratched lots. Apparently coaches aren't a fan of Kassians in Vancouver. Vermette again not worth it for a rental. Dude apparently wants 5 million plus a year this off season. He won't get that here. Don't think the jets would give up what it would take to get him. Anyone who thinks Vermette is the difference between winning and losing is crazy. Rental = give up nothing really. 3rd Rd pick? Maybe but guaranteed some team will give up too much for him. He's a rental if there ever was.
