TC signing is interesting as he’s a foot soldier. Wonder if the remaining unsigned vets will be let go. TC before Willie is interesting to me. For no other reason than to plant a seed in my head that says changes are truly coming. Not just Jake and kola but lazy players like Willie being held accountable. They may have a $$$ amount they not willing to go over for WJ. Does he retire or sign elsewhere and maybe messes up his after playing career. 35 36 is getting up there. WJ could be this years bighill for us. The vet we move on from.

Chevy will get a 1st for Logan Stanley at the deadline. Book it. But everyone else isn’t returning ****. 4th rd picks or less for the rest of the the “pending ufas “ We also don’t need an injury prone goalie so yeah.

Oh really eh. Well. Cut that dude cuz kind of a soft quote. TC appears quite pointless here. But perhaps insight into why free agents don’t sign here? I’m not sure i even understand the point of the players survey.

Are they now with Hatcher lawler and the sorts making more as WRs? I dunno man. But you probably right. Lowest Canadian OL salary prob higher than receiver salary. Average. But maybe not anymore. I dunno seems like the starters get paid.

Boo hoo really from the bitter obviously released player from camp they got that quote from.

Waiving Nyquist would be a good start.

Khari hasn’t really had much success. Wouldn’t hate to see him here as qb coach tho. Here’s one. Mike Ditka. But there’s more who weren’t.

Reaves has never been tough. He’s a bully and it’s great seeing him humbled now.

They carrying 8 D with fleury. That’s not ideal. Now they down to 7 so they can call up another forward. Zhilkin ain’t top 6. He’s bottom 6. None of the moose guys currently are top 6. I like Yager and Chibrikov but ideally they 3rd line guys with a 4th line shutdown line.

lol. Name one. Honestly. One. Just one cuz I can name 50 who weren’t. including some of the greatest coaches of all time like bud grant John madden and some dude named Vince Lombardi who played never played pro football. I mean really. Buck. Dinwiddie. Steinhauer millanovich macoica. I mean 90 percent of the coaches In both pro football leagues were just average to below average players or not at all even. Andy Reid sure was a hell of a player eh, I mean really.

Agreed. I also don’t think he’s a great veteran leader. Being loud doesn’t mean leading. Dude takes plays off every game.

What are you talking about here.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true but I get the feeling he also would rather a team of vets lose badly than calling up kids who probably aren’t quite ready to lose. I think from his pc I got this, yup we suck and right now we can’t do anything about it. The guys we want to trade have no value so what do you want from us really. He’s right also as Toews Schenn miller Pearson Nino names Nyquist get you 4th rd picks or later. My feeling is Chevy didn’t expect us to be this bad but and who did honestly, the roster isn’t a last place roster. It’s almost Florida when they got Barkov or Colorado when they got mackinnon. A bad year followed by game changing draft pick followed by success. And there’s the silver lining.

Politics man. We mustn’t speak of reasons.

He seems like a waste of an American spot honestly. I’m not sure I’d bring him back. I’d draft a guy and probably draft a global guy who can do all 3. Seems like better use of the roster. I’d bring in 5 or 6 guys who can do all 3 honestly and keep the best 2. 1 on the PR. Again if you gonna go American there dude needs to do all 3. Sergio can but doesn’t. If he does all 3, bring him back to compete but no guarantees there. Kickers are a dime a dozen like receivers and defensive ends should be.

Neufeld Stan Willie and Kyrie. Kyrie has a replacement here already in woodbey and possibly Shay. easily replaceable. Stan? I think it’s his decision but an American tackle shouldn’t be hard to find. Seems like we are signing a few tho so where there is smoke perhaps he’s hanging them up. Could see 1 more year with Zach tho. Again. His decision Neufeld ? A guy who lives here now I believe, could possibly be a center option. I guess you can’t or shouldn’t purge all your vets especially versatile Canadian oline. willie? I’m really not sure. Depends on $$$ probably. Don’t think Willie is what he was. Should be able to find some young ends no? Save some cash. what about the receiver. Had great chemistry with Zach. The former rider. Thought he was ok. Think I’d bring him back to compete. Can’t remember name. He got hurt. It’s Sterns.

Honestly. McKenna and the Swede center would make us better instantly. Nodak D would also probably. So not the worst time to be bad.

Doesn’t seem like Josh Kyle mark and gabe are tuning him out. We lack talent. That’s more on Chevy than Arniel but it’s also partly the result of being an elite team for years now (with a presidents trophy and central banner to show for it) and not having top 12 picks. People love Winnipeg when they play here, some make it home year round for life, getting ppl here tho is still the problem. Perception. Not the free agent destination. So rock and hard place. Be good and not have top 10 picks and not be able to restock the cupboards or be bad like buffalo always and have top 10 picks every year.

Does someone sign kola? I mean surely somebody will sign him. It’s surprising to me as he was just on a video with Tait. Thought that was a sign he’d be back. kola gonna be qb coach now? Can complain about guys getting an extra 20k probably but Walters has had a solid off season so far. willie is the next decision. Normally signed by now tho no? And Kyrie. So far Kyle is 2 for 2. schmek? Looked like he was improving b4 the injury. Decent depth who could easily be cut tho.

No but there’s probably gonna be a trial.

They weren’t. It’s an older different slower team. They went bombers and it don’t work in hockey when you the old and slowest team.

Plus Brady is a starting Canadian. I mean Do ppl not get that starting Canadians get paid in the cfl? Receivers making 290 to 325 and they have 5 catches a game. I want the best 6 or 7 (whatever it is) starting Canadians I can have. If that means rookie American defensive ends tackles or DBs? So be it.

I literally walk downtown every morning at 645am. I mean I’ve never experienced any problems. I mean ppl asking for money or smokes isn’t a problem and headphones pretty much tells ppl to **** off. This fake narrative about downtown is part of the problem here. Every city has a major meth problem. It’s not Winnipeg exclusive. Calgary Edmonton Toronto Montreal and Vancouver all have the same issues. All of them. Vancouver is worse.

https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/12/17/redha-kramdis-inspirational-transformation/ I dunno. He’s gone through a lot and Is a smart versatile leader on D. He made tackles. Maybe nothing that stands out but pretty sure he’s had a few pretty big tackles In his career. Blew guy up or 2 for sure. There’s the booch narrative with him tho so he gets **** on while jay person and Devin Adams are praised.

Shouldn’t have been any. Tkachuk ****** around and found out.
