Ticats trade Steve Myddleton to Esks

[gbill2004]

@CFL: TRADE ALERT: @CFL_Esks acquire Steve Myddelton from @Ticats in exchange for a conditional 2015 #CFLDraft pick and a 4th round pick in 2016.

[DR. CFL]

Guess Winnipeg wasn't interested?

[M.O.A.B.]

Well, it could be the Esks that initiated the trade not the Ticats.

[DR. CFL]

So that prevents Hamilton from shopping a player to other teams?

No it doesn't prevent them, maybe they just didn't see a need too...ever think of that?

[gbill2004]

He was a guy I was hoping the Bombers would sign in free agency.  He seems like a solid Canadian OL. 

[DR. CFL]

So I have a player I deem expendable and I would have no interest in obtaining top dollar for him....? How does that make sense?

I agree with your logic but that's not how all trades go down.

well, maybe they like the Esks offer from the get-go and dont want to lose if they try to shop for better offers from different team.

[DR. CFL]

Ya and maybe they don't have $.50, a pay phone and 5 minutes to call around.

[M.O.A.B.]

Whatever.

 

You're just actually fishing for something to pin on Walters. Give it a rest man.

And if it had gone down the other way....

 

"Why did Walters give up two draft picks for a player who isn't good enough to start?"

[Guest]

Would have been nice if the Bombers signed him during the off season, oh well. I'm actually a bit surprised by this move, Edmonton's Oline is nowhere near as bad as last season's, unless there was an injury or the Eskies were looking for more depth it's puzzling.

[DR. CFL]

Isn't good enough to start? Because we as a GM of any team:

1) don't want to upgrade our National talent base especially on the o line

2) want to continue to play 3 Internationals on the o line, that are at the best average

3) want to continue to give up 4 sacks a game?

4) want to continue to put a true up and coming QB at risk to a significant injury?

[Floyd]

I would have been fine with signing Myddleton in the off-season but now, I'm less interested...  Would be more interested in Giguere or Courtney Stephen

1) does the coaches sees Myddleton an upgrade over Greaves and Neufeld?

2) we only played 3 import becuase of injury

3) adding Myddleton, will kept the sacks away ?

4) not the Bombers intention but injuries slowed the chemistry of their OL, when did we field the same OL in consecutive weeks?

 

 

Myddleton could be a help with this team but will you trade away 2 draft picks for him?

Myddleton could chose to retire after the season then you lose more.

I get Stephen, but Giguere ?

 

Rod Black is that you ?

I've got to mail away for one of those doctorates.  A couple of bottle tops should get me that and a snazzy pair of x-ray glasses.  The ladies will never know!!!

If you want to play this game, rather than asking generic obvious Oline related questions, try explaining how Steve Myddleton answers any of these generic obvious Oline related questions.

 

Here's a hint: he does not.

 

Alternate answer: he changed his name to Gord Hinse and we already made this depth move a month ago.**

 

 

 

 

**IMPORTANT NOTE:  GORD HINSE DOES NOT ANSWER ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS EITHER.

[Mike]

Lost in all of this - Myddelton sucks.

[Goalie]

Dude was benched and lost his starting job after the first game of the season where Hamilton gave up like 10 or 11 sacks to SASK... how does he help again? 

[Blueandgold]

Would he even be an upgrade over Hinse or Swiston? Doubtful. 

[M.O.A.B.]

I wonder what's the deal on Swiston? 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Awful player.  Lost his job to Landon Rice, another awful player with much less experience, which says a lot with how desperate Hamilton was for OL of any nationality at the start of this season.  No better than Swiston or Hinse.

[Mr. Perfect]

I think it's amusing how up in arms people get when they see a team acquire a NI o-lineman and wonder how/why we weren't involved without really knowing the quality of said player in question. I understand to a small extent given how our line has performed in some games this year, but it's still amusing none the less.
