Goalie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 penton tweeted that bc really wants to move up to #2 and is wondering if walters will give buono want he wants. # 2 for #5 and #14 or keep #2. I know they love the guy and nobody wants to give up a roster player, but if I'm Walters, I'm hardballing Buono. I don't want two picks for the #2, I want #5 and a guy like Haidara. oh i agree, 2 picks isn't enough. I was thinking like #5 and westerman. But haidara works too.
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Hopefully they have more than one team interested in the 2nd pick. Who does BC want? Foucault? They don't need Goossen.

They don't need Goossen. read somewhere that several teams are interested in goosen, not just as a centre though. He is apparently quite versatile and can play guard also so really teams need these types of players, i think they probably want goosen maybe not as a centre though.
gbill2004 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Hopefully they have more than one team interested in the 2nd pick. Who does BC want? Foucault? They don't need Goossen. Lots of speculation BC does want Goossen.
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I would take Goossen as a guard and play him in Week 1. Lions could roll out Olafioye-Goossen-Norman-Fabien-Steward

I'd rather have Haidara to be honest.
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Trading for Westerman without a contract could be quite detrimental in February. That could be argued it is more of a gamble than selecting a prospect.

Tracker Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 There are almost always surprises on draft days- trades, swaps of draft positions and dark horses emerging. This year promises to be one of those times.
Captain Blue Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I want a starter out of our first pick badly. Trading down definitely intrigues me though.
TBURGESS Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Trading down doesn't intrigue me. I 'd be happy with Lavertu or Goosen as we NEED a center and the idea of converting Morley doesn't thrill me at all.
iso_55 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I hope we keep our pick. We need to upgrade our Canadian base.

Morley has always been barely good enough and would not be a starter on most other teams. If we can trade him for value, great. He won't be missed very much.
B-F-F-C Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 My question is this. If BC believes they need Goosen? Wouldn't we need him more?
sweep the leg Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I hope we keep our pick. We need to upgrade our Canadian base. If we can get a pick & a NI player we would be. I like Mike's idea of #5 & Haidara. We would need something that good to make it worthwhile.
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 My question is this. If BC believes they need Goosen? Wouldn't we need him more? The Lions would be putting him at guard, I would think with Norman at C... Bombers have the more pressing need at C.
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 To me, the only team drafting Goossen to play C is the Bombers and mayyyyyyyyyybe Edmonton. Everyone else would be taking him at G. Edmonton signed Sorensen, but could still challenge him. Montreal just lost Flory, and their depth at guard is quite shallow. Plus LBJ is a rock. BC has Matt Norman at C, who they drafted in 2012. Toronto, Calgary, Sask and Hamilton I don't see actively pursuing him unless he dropped to them.
Blueandgold Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 So is it basically a certainty that Ottawa is taking Lavertu?
voodoochylde Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 So is it basically a certainty that Ottawa is taking Lavertu? Pretty good odds they do ..
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 So is it basically a certainty that Ottawa is taking Lavertu? If Foucault didn't get the rookie camp offer, I'd say he is going #1... I still think they're fine at C with Krausnick, so I wouldn't be surprised if they still took the risk.
gbill2004 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 @BobIrvingCJOB: Bombers will draft lavertu or Goossen. Take it to the bank.
Mike Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Posted May 13, 2014 @BobIrvingCJOB: Bombers will draft lavertu or Goossen. Take it to the bank. Looks like you're going to end up being right. I'll give you credit for calling it as early as you did.
braddman19 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Must not have received any appealing offers I suppose.
Goalie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Must not have received any appealing offers I suppose. or they did and just decided that we need the guy more.
