At least they gave Harris the right color jersey at his press conference today.

Montreal is trying to save money as well so I'm guessing they want lower cost players and/or draft picks. Balancing out the money doesn't help them get where they need to be.

Having too many quality players under contract is a problem every GM would love to have. Cutting a guy is only one option, they can try to restructure an existing contract or attempt to trade someone (like Montreal is trying to do with Henoc).

Herb Zurkowsky @HerbZurkowsky1 Hearing the #Als are shopping non-import MLB @HenocMuamba. Edm would seem to be most-likely destination.

They couldn't really address it beforehand because they didn't know who they'd sign in FA. Now that they have some guys signed, they can start looking at cuts. You don't want to cut a player on the hopes they would replace them with a targeted free agent only to have that guy sign with another team. During his presser yesterday, Walters said they knew some tough decisions have to be made but he wouldn't speculate with the media on exactly who would get cut.

I imagine this is you about now then?

A couple thoughts: 1) I'm shocked the Riders aren't among those teams. 2) Huff talking to Sherritt is the pot calling the kettle black after yesterday's tirade.

Saskatchewan signed 4 guys today (Chambers, Newman, Jones and Chiles) so they are "building" in the same way we are.

Wiecek is saying Keeping turned down more money from BC to come here so he could play for MOS. Love hearing stuff like that.

Not exactly like looking in the mirror, eh?

Mitchell has another article on Huff that will be out tomorrow.

Anyone know if Andrew Jones is still available?

That's because the pigs are usually scared in Regina, especially when the menfolk are around.... or is that only the sheep?

Possibly Smith too.

Phaneuf to Ottawa in a 9 player deal! Sens communications ‏@Media_Sens 4m4 minutes ago #Sens get Phaneuf, Frattin, Bailey, Rupert and Donaghey in exchange for Cowen, Greening, Michalek, Lindberg and 2nd-rounder in 2017.

I don't look at it as giving up on him... it's more about having to give something to get something. And if the rumors about what Trouba's looking for on his next deal are accurate, Hamonic's contract would be much more attractive to the Jets.

They're thanking him because he'll be picking up the dinner bill tonight!

Yep, forgot about Murray. That'd be one I'd bet they wish they could take back.

I wouldn't say they ignored the D. At least they haven't through the draft where defense has made up about 35% of their draft picks over the last 10 years. They've just drafted really really sh***y! If you look at their draft record since 2005, only Klefbom, Nurse & Jeff Petry play in the NHL regularly out of 21 picks, and they don't have Petry anymore. The majority of the other picks either never made it to the NHL or only played a couple games. Having said that, outside of 2009, where they picked Paajarvi over Ryan Ellis, they picked the right guys (at the time) with their 1st pick.

Lawless is now tweeting that Smith will most likely hit FA. Looking for around 150k a season.

Washington is far from the only DB that Manny has done that to. He did this one like 2 weeks later:

I'm just watching the twitter feed... looks like Newman is the only one of those guys they are interested in having back next year.

No problem! A friend of mine uses the MXQ and likes it. Given the name and the fact that it uses the exact same remote as the G-Box MX2, I'm guessing they are very similar.

I'm on my 2nd box and have had zero complaints with either. Started with a G-Box MX2 (the one Taynted has), and upgraded to a G-Box Q a few months ago. It has other apps but I use it strictly for Kodi. I've used both boxes wirelessly and haven't had an issue but obviously a wired connection is always going to be better. If running cables is an issue for you, you may want to look into a powerline adapter.

Kory #1Time Sheets ✔ @Sheets24K So they say they don't want me back as a#rider what to do where to go? #cfl
