Trade #1 and #6 to BC for #3, #7, and #24. Take Vandervoort and a DL. boom goes the dynamite

Lawless had another tweet on the subject.... I can't embed it right now but it stated that Poolman becomes a UFA but still in the ELC system on August 15 (meaning he still must sign an entry-level deal), but if he goes back for another year he is a pure UFA with no restrictions whatsoever. He can't play this year due to injury so if I'm him there is no way I sign with the Jets now. But maybe they can find a reason for him to do so.

That's the easy part. Hiring a better staff is the tricky part. Either way, not gonna happen... Maurice will be back.

Canadian defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie performed for scouts at Iowa’s pro day on Monday – three CFL teams attended, Lions, Argos and Alouettes. No Bombers rep at his pro day, seems unlikely (though not impossible) that we will take him with our first-rounders.

A better finish is a better finish. The team will remain basically the same next year but a little more experienced and maybe add a couple more talented players, particularly in goal. As bleak as this season was, I do see us improving next season, and possibly by enough to make the playoffs.

The only time I can remember something similar is when Mike Kelly traded Romby Bryant and Arjei Franklin for Odell Willis mid-season, then after the season ended, the Bombers received OL Derek Armstrong to finalize the trade.

The 6’8”, 305-pounder hasn’t played in more than a year and is unsigned. If Foucault, 28, does agree to play in the CFL, the Lions will send another player to Montreal. B.C. also receives practice roster import offensive lineman Vincent Brown to complete the transaction. https://3downnation.com/2017/03/27/lions-traded-star-olafioye-als-hint-money/

See I don't believe Comrie is having development issues, other than playing on a horrid team. Goalies SHOULD experience ups-and-downs for a few years in the AHL before coming up, unless they are Carey Price.

Go out to the parking lot and slash his tires

So basically, had to go back six years to find a highly-ranked CIS DL who has had any noticeable impact... and the best we can come up with is Junior Turner. I think that supports my point more than disproves it.

CIS defensive linemen tend not to be very good high picks in general. I can't recall ever seeing a CIS defensive lineman get drafted in the first couple rounds and have any kind of impact.

Exactly. I'd be shocked if more than 4 make it to a real NFL training camp this year. And 4 players is nothing to make a big deal about.

Yeah but all those guys were in camp. Addison Richards and Taylor Loffler for example were in Giants mini-camp then bombers training camp.

Hopefully the car wasn't damaged.

May as well get a look at the pups now

If that's the case then the Leafs fans were right all along saying Matthews deserves the Calder because he's playing with weaker linemates

I'd have no problem with hiring a new goalie coach and I agree that it's silly to give up on quality prospects without at least seeing if a new coach can help. But if you think Flaherty hasn't tried to coach Hellebuyck's shitty glove-hand out of him I think you're mistaken... I just can't fathom a pro goalie coach being that blind.

There's a big difference between signing a deal and just going to camp. The top 20-ish guys were in an NFL mini-camp last year but only 4 actually signed NFL deals if I recall correctly. I'm not worried about a guy going to mini-camp, even if maybe 1-5% of them do end up getting deals. I'm willing to take that small risk.

Silly premise, guns have little to do with mental health

Maybe we should look at why North Americans have more "mental health issues" than any other society on earth

The common denominator is that none of them are really that good. I don't have an opinion one way or another on Flaherty but I think you are overestimating the impact of a goalie coach.

Yeah I'm sure the Muslims getting gunned down in Quebec were thanking their lucky stars we have gun control in Canada

What love? I just haven't ruled him out as a potential future starter.
