JCon

I got my call today for my Westerman jersey.

Brandon Banks

West: Calgary 12-6 Bombers 11-7 Edmonton 9-9 BC 7-11 Sask 6-12 East: Hamilton 12-6 Toronto 10-8 Ottawa 8-10 Montreal 6-12 Bombers beat Ti-Cats to hoist the Grey Cup.

Macho will be so pleased!

I'm curious too. I would like to pick my jersey up before Friday's game.

I don't give players credit for not complaining.

Why do we need a goalie for the expansion draft?

Hamonic rescinded his trade request. It's a non-starter.

I'm unclear how the neg list works for released players. Is he automatically on our neg list because we drafted him, so when he leaves Western (assuming he's going back), we can try to sign or trade him?

I thought Hamonic rescinded his trade request?

I could see Colorado making a run at him via offer sheet. Pushes up the Jets salaries and they may pry him out. I guess it depends what kind of relationship the GM has with Chevy. You don't make friends with offer sheets! If not Colorado, I could see another club taking a gamble on him. Maybe even to push through a trade.

I find it interesting that he does not favour bridge deals, considering how much he's been praised in the past for the bridge deals he signs. In this case though, the bridge deal favours Trouba, where as a long-term, realistic deal would probably favour the Jets. I assume the Jets will match any offer sheet but it will make him hard to trade if a big one comes in. Match is one thing, match and retain is another.

I wonder if Chevy is suggesting that the rumours came from Trouba's camp? I think they are, not necessarily because he wants to be traded, but because they're pushing for a deal to be done.

Saw this morning, doors open at 5:30.

Fits the narrative.

Willy hasn't played in ten months. I expect timing and rhythm to be poor (but I don't expect him to be hit so much). If he can get the ball out quicker, he'll be okay.

Willey. Cut.

Last media availability prior to the draft. I expect a lot of nothing. "Contract talks ongoing..." "Always talking to other GMs across the league..." Rinse. Repeat.

Good news for everyone in the Pacific but Anaheim.

Noel, Maurice, or Bylsma? He's played under many and only scored more than 20 under Noel.

He overpaid Kane. And, if all the rumours are true, he tried really hard to overpay Ladd.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned about the game day experience but... Who's idea was it to get the t-shirt cannon? And, when deciding on which t-shirt cannon to get, why did they decide on the Brian Brohm T-Shirt Cannon 2000? Sprays all over but gets nothing near it's intended target.

D'uh, you're right. Not sure why he was in my head as a centre. I can even envision him taking face-offs. I could definitely see CBJ trading down then, to grab Brown.

If CBJ does not take Poolparty, I'll be shocked. He's a top prospect centre they need. If they decide Puljarvvvvyyy is not the best pick, they'll trade down, I imagine.

He may feel he's been held back by Stuart.
