They want Mexican players as a pipeline for talent. (Oops, dirty word those pipelines)…. maybe if they can develop them they will be players up here. Makes more sense to me than playing in China or somewhere else where the chances of players ever coming from there is negligible. Wait'll those Mexicans see November in this country. LOL.
I don't know about that. I've never heard of a team nominating one player over the other to save money on incentives. If any team did that then that would be terrible. Powell was the better player all season. Harris stunk on more than a few occasions.
We don't know what they're going to do until they have a team. Sure, I expect them to hire French speaking coaches but I don't know why it's a big deal. They could also hire someone who is English. Or Swedish. You also can't compare Manitoba to Quebec. Culture & population wise.
Reports are Trestman wants out as he isn't happy with the team & how it fell off a cliff this season in the standings. Don't know about Popp but I also read that Popp has been feuding with MLSE who are the owners of the team. That can't be good for his future employment opportunities with them.
