Yup and at a position that is based largely on speed and strength. Two things that decline rapidly with age.

Westerman at 200K!?!? For a soon to be 33 year old who missed nearly half the season last year?? No thanks.

I'd be onboard with that but i doubt weve got the scratch for that scenario.

Agreed. Leggett at strong side, Santos-Knox at weak side, and use Wild money to land Dean or Reed for your MLB. That would be amazing. Bringing the often injured Wild back is a mistake IMO. Even when he's been healthy he hasnt been a difference maker.

I'd love Dean or Reed but it sure sounds like Walters' plan is to roll with the current LB's we have (minus Hurl) and hope one of them turns into a MLB. Im not a fan of finger crossing when better options are available.

Its grown out a bit lol

Ran into Chad Rempel at the outlet mall today. First thing i said tongue in cheek was "Grey Cup this year?" and he chuckled and said that was the plan, then without prompting he mentioned how huge the Bowman signing was. He seemed pumped. Then i mentioned how i was hoping we would sign Demski in free agency . His response was "i think we are going after him". Take that for what its worth.

Sure didnt sound like it at his presser. I hope he was being coy.

Frightening.

Santos-Knox was great last year, but he was our WLB. Wild is also a WLB that has never played a full season including just 5 last year, and the year before that he forgot how to tackle. I'd much rather sign a proven stud MLB like Dean or Reed as opposed to re-arranging our current LB's and hoping for the best. I'd actually be onboard with signing one of those guys and releasing Wild. Leggett/Dean or Reed/Santos-Knox would be amazing.

Dean and Demski and i'd be doing backflips. Heck i'd be happy just with Dean.

Sure doesnt look like that to me. Little looks slow this year. Ive always thought of Little as a shoot first type player and now they have him squished between 2 pure goal scorers so its almost like he's trying to be too much of a passer. I think putting him back with Wheeler would wake him up.

Little had a garbage game and has looked a step behind all year. Is it time to switch him and Scheifele? Its almost like he's too slow to keep up with Ehlers and Laine. Scheifele has centered those 2 before and its been money. I think a Little/Wheeler/Connor line could also put up points.

Apparently Chiarot didnt see the ice since for the last half of the 3rd even with Buff being out. Hopefully that means Poolman gets his chance. Mind you if Buff is out for a while(which it looks like) then that bum Chiarot will still be in the lineup. The guy is like herpes, just cant get rid of him.

Why cant we have nice things? In hindsight we were lucky to get a point. Felt like they spent 3/4 of the game in our zone.

Yes. He's the Mike O'Shea of NHL coaches.

Dear lord, i just saw on CapFriendly that we are still paying Mark Stuart(buyout) until 2018-2019. 1.4 million this year and another $583,000 next year. Puke.

He's signed through next season unfortunately.

That a boy Chiarot, way to take a high sticking penalty on a nothing play where the lightning player was coming down on a 1on4 and your goalie had already frozen the puck. How the Jets figure this clown is an upgrade over Poolman ill never know. Poolman is your future who has already shown well against NHL players, while Chiarot is a #7 D on his best day who has already hit his very low ceiling.

If they moved the season up 2 weeks they would just barely overlap and i really believe the majority of true CFL fans would rather watch their teams season opener then watch a Lightning/Kings playoff game. Obviously if their team was in it that would be different but were only talking about 1 game a week in the CFL as opposed to every 2 days in the NHL playoffs.

Not saying they will. Im saying they should.

Im all for moving it up, even if its just 2 or 3 weeks. June is being wasted. There is nothing finer than sitting outside on a nice warm day watching some football as opposed to freezing in a snowstorm and having the weather dictate the outcome of a Grey Cup. Screw the NHL playoffs. The NHL season should be moved up too. Hockey in June is ridiculous.

Santa loves it! All i want for Christmas is a Rider loss.

What a ****ing idiot. How is this guy regarded as anything more than a Rider fan boy???

Anyone else desperately hoping Shawn Lemon gets a couple more sacks inevitably forcing Rod Black to yell "its a lemon party at BMO Field!"
