It's simple, Laing is a younger and better player. IF the opportunity arises to upgrade a position even more we'd be crazy not to. 'Settling' does not breed winning.

Really? What would you do with Shologan, our other NI DT?
I like Laing, but Shologan is here, and he can do the job. Cummings is also here, and although not an NI, he will be really good for us. So, where's the chance to sign another expensive NI DT when we are set at that position?
Laing > Shologan

Okay Mike, so you obviously don't like Bourque but I don't think he's as bad as you claim he is. We already have a pretty good LT in Stanley Bryant so I couldn't see us ever signing Bourque. Bryant is younger than Bourque (33) & still should have a few good years left in him. This may be the last contract Bourque signs. Thing of it is, he was never going to sign out West with any team. He wanted to stay in the East. Bombers had practically a zero chance to sign him so it all really doesn't matter.
Ray Bourque would get murdered on our O-line

We just scored Schologan007 and Cummings. These guys will give our DL, with Westerman, a tremendous boost. We don't need Laing. I'm just worried, at this point, that they may figure these guys will be such an improvement that they would consider keeping Peach, well, because 'he's a hard worker'. The argument against that, of course, is that Peach may be too costly to keep, and we'll go with a newer, cheaper, peach-faced rookie.
If you have a chance to sign a starting National like Laing, you do it.

Armia is playing like you'd expect a mid 1st rounder. He has skill and if you watch, you can see his potential.
Just because he isn't lighting it up now does not mean he isn't good or won't be good.
Good thing some posters on here aren't talent scouts.
-
Armia is a keeper. Don't get all this criticism for the guy. Too high expectations for him at this point.

All I remember was that he was the only guy who could move the ball for the club.. those screen passes that we kept trying to do were useless and seemingly had an extremely low rate of success.
Yet chucking the ball when we were 2nd and long and the defenses sat back waiting for the long ball and the chance for interception goes way up.
It sucked but rather hope the receiver makes the catch and can make the play. Just the way the D were positioned. Front heavy with backfield deep, it was the safer play, execution just wasn't there.
-
I suppose...groups like the Black Panthers, to me, are a result of years of oppression and discrimination.
Yes they are extreme, no question.
But when a voice speaks and stands up to that, the only recourse is to claim reverse racism.
Like the bully who finally got his arse whupped after picking on the "weaker" foe.
Such a touchy subject because then there are those who are too quick to play the race card when it's convenient.
Such an ugly thing.

As I've said before, protection first ratio second. Unless the Canadian OL really step up, they should consider 3 Americans on the OL. If that means Bucknor has to start in the secondary, they could go with a second Canadian receiver.
I have no problems with a combo of Kolhert and J. Feoli-Gudino (hopefully Richards steps up). Now we have Harris who is basically another receiver anyway.
Really hoping D. Jones steps up and replaces Bucknor, which I have a hunch he might.

And as for the racism against white people...can white people honestly feel the same shame as minorities? No. But is it still wrong? Yes.

So every time a black person drops an "N" bomb are you going to speak up and denounce them for spreading racist words? Good luck with that.
You make a good point, you can't cry racism and then do it and say it's OK because "we" are the ones doing it. Hypocritical if you ask me...

Ehlers-Sheifele-Wheeler has the potential to be a great line
-
He shows flashes of his skill and he is legit. Ekblad would be nice but we needed a highly skilled forward at the time.
Gonna be fun times seeing him develop
-
Looking down the list of the first round of that year and not sure I'd swap him for anyone on that list. Kid has some pretty sick skills and he keeps getting better.
-
Whaaaa...Stegall was arguably one of the best all time Bomber receivers, will Harris be one of the best all time Bomber RB's? Hardly...
Laughable ass kissing LaPo....
-
IMO Leggett stays at SAM, Randle goes back to corner, J.Adams to HB, Waggoner/Sherman at S, D.Jones to field side corner.
D. Johnson will be in the mix at DE opposite Westerman.
Probably not though as there are rumblings they are leaning towards an all International secondary...

there's also Greene who we just signed that they like.
I think have him pegged for ST's

Dump Ladd, Stafford, Thorburn, Enstrom... for anything. Core needs to be scrubbed.
Keep Pavelec so that we can send Hellebuyck back to Moose and get his confidence back for next season.
Boston looked like cup champions tonight.
Send Hellebuyck back to the Moose? Sorry but those loses are not on his shoulders...
Send Pavelec and his 3 mil per year packing

Hamonic for Trouba might be the answer to that. But Trouba needs a better D partner. Arguably so does Myers.
Yup, we have too many offensive minded D-men, not enough D-minded D...
-
A good start would be if next time we hear one of our peers make a disparaging remark about a minority would be to speak up and denounce it. Sad thing most of us don't have the guts.
Until then, how is change supposed to happen?

If someone hates you or insults you for being white then it's racism. It doesn't diminish the historical wrongs against blacks in North America or aboriginals. But sure by definition it's still racism. Not laughable at all
True but I don't recall Lincoln freeing the "whites" or "whites" being followed around a store by security based on their skin colour or Winnipeg being labelled "Most racist city in Canada" because of stereotypes against "whites" or people referring to drunk, solvent sniffing "whites" along Main.
Does racism go both ways? Sure it does, but the sooner people work together and admit it does exist on BOTH sides, all the better. Time to stop seeing people in terms of color or race, we do that and great things, and true progress, will happen.

Ugh too many Defensemen wanting to jump up on the rush not enough Defensemen that can play defense...ship Trouba or Myers out asap. Both are expendable at this point.
