Edmonton wants a defenseman. Trouba may (actually have no clue) want more money than he is worth. If so, let Edmonton over-pay him, and give us a top six forward in return via the draft, and then go grab a defenceman in free agency to replace Trouba. Just my two cents.

I liked Laine's reaction to Tkachuk's mention of Corey Perry. He was kind of smiling and looking at the guys with a fiendish grin. I think he'll do well in Winnipeg, and the fans are going to love him.

According to my Finnish hockey buddy, we've all been pronouncing Selanne's name wrong for 30 years. He says the Finnish pronunciation is "Sell-an-eh". He pronounces Laine "Lion-eh". I haven't heard "Line" before, that's new.

Quebec City get ready...

yes, much rather be watching this crap: than real football.

John Kerry!

I still remember when the Riders were running around Kelowna selling shares. I think that was around 15 years ago. Lots of Rider fans here unfortunately, probably more than there are Lion fans. Ha, I just said Lion fans.

one of many big mistakes. With Lowe gone now I don't expect to see this happen again, but they are a desperate franchise.

I think it hinges, for me anyway, on what Trouba's salary expectations are. I just didn't see the improvement I was hoping for this season on the ice, to warrant a massive ask on the contract side. But that's just me. Let Edmonton over-pay him. It's what they do.

The only thing I have to say is that Chungh and Goosen have now had the in-game experience and the benefit of a camp or two and should both be better this year. I know Neufeld won't stay healthy but the games he does play he excelled at tackle and sucked at guard, so at least we have him in the right position now to at least contribute instead of being a pylon on every play. Bryant and Daniels should also play well this year, with Picard gone. Just my two cents. We'll see what actually happens.

also have to look at need. PLD>Tkachuk? I don't know. Just asking the question. Also just curious if a prospect (albeit a highly touted one) is enough for Trouba. Should we ask for a third or fourth rounder too?

Trouba straight up for #4? Is that a good deal? For either side?

I am all for trading Trouba if we can get a top ten pick in this year's draft. Colorado and Edmonton are intriguing because they have picks in the top 10. If we can get Edmonton's 4th overall and can land a PLD or a Tkachuk and still keep the number 22, that could be worth doing. Depends how high the Jets rate either of those guys. And also depends on what Chevy thinks he can get for D men in FA.

Ok thanks! Other than Nichols, haven't heard much about the back up QB's this year. Anyone pushing Nichols for the #2 spot?

Is the game on TSN?

Colorado is not going to trade Duchene. Not going to happen.

Watching the season opener last year, Paris Cotton made Macho whiff several times on tackles. Macho kept going for the big hit and missing rather than trying to do the wrap up. Not sure how he is still in the league.

Mackinnon might be interesting.

Also add - glad I get to be there to see Bluto inducted. I watched a lot of his games live back in the day.

If every Bomber had their number retired that deserved to have it retired, they'd be handing out triple digit uniform numbers by now. That's what happens when you have 86 years of (mostly) awesome heritage.
