    Do ppl think sellouts didn’t happen b4 Demski Harris and Brady got here? Hell I remember the ticat boat incident. That was sell out. No local stars then. 
     

    ppl don’t care if someone local is on the team. They care about the team winning. 
     

    you know what wade cares about more? Putting a competitive team on the field. U can’t do that paying a fn RB over 200k. 

    No love for Donny O? 😂

    Helluva way to advocate for climate change.

    Sounds like he was advocating against climate change, not for it.

    Among those posts, which remain on his public Facebook page, were claims the fires had been deliberately set by the government to trick people into believing in climate change.

    We will circle back to this when he signs. It won’t be close to $140k. 

    It will be closer to that than it is $140k

    Depends on his role I guess. Does a team want to pay north of 170k for a back-up?  Kolo making 140k as a starter will not help him any, it sets a low bar for teams to use as a comparable.  There are teams (western teams in Green in particular) that like to do dumb things so they could certainly give him a bad contract.

    knew this was a forgone conclusion...as I said expect it in Jan..well they waited to last day.

    Very economical price tag, and love the 1 yr deal as well, so as to revisit in the next off-seasn.

    People will be surprised at how different he is as a passer now, and being out from under Lapo here who stagnated him will be huge, and I know we are gonna see a lot of 2 QB packages this summer...good luck with that opposing defences.

    Schoen will be next, and best of the rest I bet will gauge what market has to offer now...tho I think we could see a Hardrick 1 yr deal sooner than later

    I think this as well puts the nail in the BO coffin unless he realizes that no market is being set, and fair value is his best interests....if not i think we pull a shocker and lock down Oullette...will gave same as BO for less, and has a bit more explosiveness to him as well

    Wade couldn't make the announcement until he made sure he was able to get his hands on enough fur coats to start selling them at the Bomber Store. 😂

    Bennett was an older university player and an older rookie. He's 27 and will turn 28 this year.  I don't think he's getting any better. If we can upgrade there, cut bait.

    Agreed, He was also touted as the most pro-ready DL available and that's a big reason we took him.  Didn't seem like that to me so I'm not sure how much room there is to grow for him.

    Edmonton just hit 25 straight wins, and while that stat is always impressive regardless, I took a look at their opponents and they only played 4 playoff level teams on that stretch of 15. They beat the Rangers and Toronto, but they beat Philly before the Flyers went on their recent heater, beat the Kings who have been in free fall, and the rest are teams like Columbus, Chicago twice, Sharks, Ducks, Flames, Devils when they were outside the playoff line, Habs, Sens, Wongs and Kraken. Now you have to beat who you play, but maybe they are not as good as a 15 game heater suggests (just like they weren’t as bad as a 5-12-1 start suggested) but it seems like they have again been anointed as Cup favorites by the media based on beating up on weak competition. Let’s see how they do against the likes of the Canucks, Avs, Stars, Jets, Bruins Panthers and Canes, or even mid-range teams before bowing down to them. 

    You should look back even further than because while they have won 15 straight, they had been heating up prior to that.  They won 8 straight starting towards the end of November, including one against the Jets and one against Carolina, so they have beaten some of the teams you have mentioned.  They've also lost to some of those teams like Florida.

    Sure, but it's not like Hockey Hero Burger is an NHL trademark. 

    They could call it the McHero Burger and be done with it. Or, call it the Hockey Hero Burger for kicks. 

    The burger has already had multiple names - it was first called the Superhero burger as a tie-in to the Batman Forever movie but it's also been the Hockey Hero burger & the Triple Double burger.  I don't think McDonalds cares too much as long as it sells.
