Getting married and wanting that security in a location could be part of it. Nothing is guaranteed but maybe signing now firms up a plan to set down roots in Winnipeg, instead of having to wait a year to see how it plays out. Signing bonus will go farthest in terms of "why would he sign now?" ....

Toby mighta been to fastest skater in th league...

false.

In fairness, you legitimately expect that for every word you've ever said or typed...

If I could pick Ducks in 3, I would. I want Perry and Getzlaf to eat them alive....

Saw a good line on Twitter yesterday, something along the lines of "Rogers: Attempting to ruin all of Canada's great sporting institutions..."

Love the location. The walk from BPs on Pemb isn't bad at all. Love parking there, have a drink or two, then wander over...

Compare building a football team to building a car. The OL is the engine. Receivers are the spoiler. If your spoiler falls off, your car does not go hurtling into the ditch. That's my point. OL is much more important than WR. You're missing HIS point....receivers are way more important than a spoiler on a car. They're more like the tires...

No soccer, no NFL football, definitely no basketball....

Do people actually believe this?

Greg Peach, the back-up: Excellent. Greg Peach, Starter: Your scouting isn't good enough and your DL isn't good enough.

...Which is ridiculous...

Such an inferiority complex. Listen, all the chest-thumping is patently un-Canadian...unbecoming of Canadians, generally, and Manitobans, specifically.

no kidding. The Jets are in big danger of becoming the Riders of the NHL and that's not a compliment. Agreed. I was in Brandon for the Wheat Kings playoff game on Saturday and was stunned to hear the True North shout out during the anthem. I get it during Jets games (although the circle jerk the fans give themselves afterwards is a different matter) but it's weird to hear it at other events completely unrelated to TNSE. And if *that* doesn't scream Rider Fans, nothing does...

Wow, so much for the big heralded signing of Savio last off-season. Man oh man. Great community guy and everything. Hate seeing that.

that's definitely fair...I'm the first to admit that I don't know enough about the Draft or the CIS in general. I defer to the clique of draft gurus here...

I'd be a lot more sold on Demski at #2 if I hadn't lived through years and years of some of the worst OL in CFL history....

and further to this current train of thought, as much as I love what Chipman and True North have done for the city, the level of adoration is starting to go a little far. I mean, people are REALLY putting TNSE on a pedastal and I'd suggest it needs to be dialed back a bit.

Well, I'm very glad you didn't say Soccer was ahead of the Jets in your book. Nah, I like Canadian sports...

Either of those trades would be awful for the Jets. Doan's Best Before Date was close to a decade ago, and Lupul has been one of the cancers in the TO locker room....

I like hockey, don't get me wrong, but it's 3rd (at best) on my priority list. CFL and the curling tour are far more important to me...

Going to cheer on the Wheaties on Tuesday at the 'Dome. Gonna be a great game...hoepfully a sweep.

Hutchinson, plus either Myers or Trouba, and a swap of picks for Eberle.......that's your starting point.

Ridiculous....go Ducks go. Anybody But Calgary...

If Chia lands a coach with some quality experience, a legit starting G, and at least one quality D to anchor the corps (a large task, to be sure!) then this team immediately becomes a playoff contender...
