Hellebuck is useless if puck goes above his sight line. Relies ways too much on his positioning. Gave up ways too fast on that last goal.

At a guy turning 35 this year ? Good player but wouldn’t be my first target. Seems like he signed at a reasonable deal to stay in Ottawa.

well I almost never get to use this one but now I can

Booo that would have been the guy I'd want to throw money at.

We've got like no receivers signed.... we should have a boatload of money to sign guys at that position

It's tough when a player reaches the end of the line but wants to keep playing especially college age kids. Usually a coach tells them it's over or injuries catch up.. Which is what happened to my son. An off season hammy tear was the end for him. He went from running a 4.6 forty as a junior & taking off with the ball to being a pylon as a qb runninga 5.4 forty in his senior year at SFU. When he went to the combines after his final season in 2015, he couldn't run or cut. He knew it was over... He had to face that. It wasn't easy. His hammy still gives him trouble. Surgery at some point is down the line.

Of course the Wings get the first PP, after the refs ignored multiple infractions against the Jets.

I hope we do. We have massive needs at DL and WR. We cant fill them like we tried to last year either.

I'm assuming we don't have the cash to pay for the top receivers in FA. I just hope we don't bring in injury proned guys or guys who have fell off and in need of a one year prove it deal.

he couldn’t put up worse numbers than last year. just doing better won’t remotely mean he earns that money. If he produces at a rate equal to the last two years in one this year, he will be a solid value. idk I can’t see teams paying wj on hopes he regains his level of play from 3 years ago. he’d look real good in blue n gold

absolutely. it is. but you bring in 15-20 guys like this each camp and the ones who don’t cut it are first gone and gone in rookie camp. Football is so intensely dependant on raw athleticism and talent, if you can add or develop one strong intangible like football iq, motor, etc you have a quick riser. I mean this is why college teams are always all over track/basketball practices. very true. and the reality of falling out of the nfl window is a big learning opportunity. those guys always believe that their talent/athleticism will carry to a shot and they will win a spot. even though the reality is very different. Realizing that and facing the end of a career they thought would carry them can bring out a different animal.

Yup they are long over due, especially the fans who stuck with them during the lean years not the ones who say oh they’re doing good now time to replace the jersey I threw away.

Detroit Dead Things had a long run.

Different athletes mature at differnt rates, so if the measureables are there, some may be worth a look-see.

I think it's a big ask for teams to think underachievers in their 20's who couldn't excel at lower levels will suddenly do so in the CFL.

I think if he has legit interior guys he may change that approach Was he compensating certain things cause of the lack of inside production...possible..guess we will see Like I mentioned before in conversation with Gavin Walls he even said it was strange and kind of pointless what we were doing on the dline at end He said he would have been none too impressed if he was schemed to do that...and it would eventually get guys disinterested almost especially when being stuck flat footed more often then not and make a guy look lazy as plays got past or outside them...be interesting to see what we are doing this yr Read my other post...

For sure....It looked like he was just wandering at times and happened to throw his arms up at the right time and knocked a few passes down...He has to be used properly

Younger has to figure out what he wants to do with Willie. That's the problem, I think.

Betcha WJ would have got more if he went to FA Is 200k and overpay? Hard to say...can be revisited by labour day tho when we see the whole picture and what the defence is doing as a whole I want to see him tho used as a pure edge rusher and with sets overloaded with 3..4 speed guys and him inside...not do the engage at snap and pop off to survey the scene and try and guess the passing lane...that crap we had him doing is just pointless...

I amended that quote & added to it since you included it. Is it an overpay for Jefferson? It's high but Willie's a veteran so he's going to get paid. But it isn't much different from last season. As I said earlier somewhere, I want to see what he does with better personnel & a "Jake Free" defensive line this coming season.

Yeah....just read it on third down....Is it an overpay??....////if he can put up better sack numbers than last year he could be worth the dollars....We'll see
