Toronto trades Orimolade to Calgary for Cam Judge

Interesting 

WOW. Toronto out here swinging. 
 Looks to me like they are hoarding ni talent, saving bucks and expecting to be able to just churn out new imp talent with ease. Ballsy moves this year for them. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Elks released Dillion Mitchell. I thought he was going to be a super star when he came in the league half way through the 2022 season but he never really ended up being that guy. I wonder if a team takes a chance on him. He’s only 27. 

So did he!

Yeah...moving away from some.money to likely better themselves with new..younger talent..aka not standing pat even tho they have won 2 of last 3 cups...that's how u continue to stay on top...maybe while osh is off on his mentoring excursion and not dialed into his duties here in a key time some of that Toronto way of.doing stuff rubs on to him...or maybe a light bulb goes off

Honestly, given the scouting additions we just made, I want them to have every opportunity to go out and find the next Orimolade instead of bringing one in on a big price tag.

These are guys that can find impact front 7 guys

For sure excited to see what the fresh blood brings into camp this year.

Tis true...I have no faith tho that an unknown will get a true shot...and we just lean on broken down and inadequate stuff...we've seen that so g and dance before

There no reason a fresh face can't come in and be impactful..this notion they all need a yr or 2 of seasoning is garbage

I banged the Garbutt drum all 2023 yr he should have been given a shot...never happened...a yr on the inactive roster didn't make him arguably our best all.arpund de this yr...playing did

Same this yr with Person...he is an even better player...actual true impact guy and was a legit NFL rush specialist projection but some teams wanted him to pack on weight and he didn't want to.

I also don’t have a ton of faith, but I’m also of the mindset (and so far, it’s playing out that way) that we may have quite a few open spots this year so O’Shea might not have a choice

I think that’ll be the case. Plus with soo much front office turnover, I think we see things run a bit differently now.

Is the Calgary receiver a fair comparable to lawler ? Or is Kenny more 250k plus. How about Schoen? 

Hes sub lawler/schoen but close to the top tier of WRs. That said I think that’s pretty much top dollar for WRs now. I don’t think any one is handing out 285-300k for WRs any time soon. 
 Lawler already came back for less, he’s about to turn 31, hasn’t played 18 games in one season ever, and only eclipsed 1k yards once (by 13 yards). 
 Hes done a lot in limited time, and on any given game day you’d be hard pressed to have a better guy to throw to up here. But I don’t see teams risking big dollars on him now. I think he remains a bomber for a bit over 200k. 
 Schoen the question of when he will be ready and how close to 100 he will be is big. 
 Buck would be the biggest threat to scoop either imo, but they already have a wr to lock up and lots of money spent. 
 

I think the guys that’ll be hard to retain are Dobson, ford, holm and I could see teams trying to drive up the market on Lofton to hurt our cap space.

No td Atlantic type game this year. Which is fine by me. We don’t have a viable market for a 10th team in Atlantic Canada or an owner. 

These games are absolutely pointless until a city steps up & says that it's willing to build a 25-30,000 seat stadium. they have to find events that will help build the game in the CFL cities we have. Like Calgary & Edmonton. The league's strength used to be in Alberta but now it's the CFL's weakness. Doing it in Victoria or Halifax is nice but a waste of time. Sorry Kate Bierness, guess no ROADDD TRIPPP east or west for you. 

Here's the thing that bothers me about TSN. They'll pack up their **** & do a remote panel from Hamilton or BMO Field 3 or 4 times a season but go nowhere else. Why in God's name would they not want to come to Winnipeg to experience the Banjo Bowl??? That should be on their Top 3 things to do as a panel & broadcaster of CFL games. Go to where the excitement is & where the big games are. Other than playoff & Grey Cups it doesn't get any better than what we experience that game at PAS. Yet they stay in Toronto. Then they get all excited about some half assed football game on the East Coast where they get to travel & party while half the fans are from Regina. At least in Victoria, the Lions fans from that city showed up.
