You are playing the stupid what if game, but Perfetti was rated in the top 10. Jarvis was not. What if instead of the leafs winning the lottery we do and draft Matthews. I mean really. We didn’t draft Jarvis. We took the better prospect at the time. Jarvis would be playing with 55 and Connor. Vilardi wouldn’t be here. Dubois wouldn’t have been traded to LA. Our second line would be nobody at all. Ehlers wasn’t the damn difference for us just like he isn’t for a stacked Carolina team who has been a top team for years now. Stankhoven and Blake are. Slavin is. Anderson is. I mean to pretend 1 guy is the reason is just it’s the stupidest **** ever man. Carolina is a 4 line team. Ehlers was playing 3rd line for a long while this year. Honestly. Should have drafted kaprizov 2 right with your crystal ball of knowledge cuz he was taken in the 5th round even. Honestly. Pretending Jarvis was the better prospect is hilarious. Put Jarvis with Toews and Nyquist and you calling him out like a hypocrite also.

2026 Bombers Season
Britton the only one on there really worth mentioning. what’s the story with jaworski tho. Osh was asked about him and hinted maybe he’s not actually retired. Britton? He might be for real tho as he was all last year also pretty much.

Jarvis was never a jet. If the jets picked him he wouldn’t be playing with Sebastian Aho and Ehlers and the jets were 7 wins from a cup in 2018.

2026 Bombers Season
Any releases yet? And I guess humour is subjective cuz that wasn’t overly funny. More kinda stupid and a waste of time kinda like attending camp so it all makes sense. There’s been plenty of years we all pick a dude and declare him the man then he gets cut first time he can. It is what it is. Who cares. Football is back. I’d love to see a surprise early release of a lb but that’s not gonna happen.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
Hunt wasn’t here long but man that dude made an impact. Would have loved to have him opposite Willie or even over Willie for sure. Dude was another level. Imagine both together in their primes. Unstoppable. With Brown and Ceresna. Just unstoppable

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
Milt would likely be most impactful but Brown or Bolden might make us better overall. Prime Doug Brown maybe even Prime Philip Hunt would prob make us better overall tho. I think with Brady on O, we are ok, we prob don’t need that superstar receiver, wouldn’t hurt but the D guys would just make us harder to play against. Honestly prime bighill over tony jones any day. Makes us better. How bout this. Prime Doug over Lawson Prime Bighill over Jones Prime milt over white Prime Bolden over either CB since fantasy talk the other corner could be Alford. Prime hunt opposite Willie maybe even Jeffcoat but hunt was the man beast Pick 1 ok fine my heart says milt cuz he would get a cup ring but my head says hunt bolden or bighill would make us better overall, lets say Big cuz he’s miles better than Jones and well ceresna plus Lawson is ok I think but don’t have that hunt end tho or bolden corner. Bighill over Jones tho I think makes us better

You could trade the pick to Seattle for a Shane wright or Beniers. Maybe Anaheim for a mctavish. There’s several who fit the category actually. Guys who are young and have no trade protection who could use a change of scenery. Nemec and Mercer in New Jersey. Jersey would be my Helle trade destination tho. Trade our pick for that young 2 C as mentioned above then move Helle for Nemec and nj 1st. Guys on 1st or 2nd contracts don’t normally got trade protection. And not everyone has trade protection either. I’m not trading pick 8 for a dude with a year or 2 left. I’m trading it for a younger guy prob on his 2nd contract. Dudes either signed long term or short but has many rfa years left. You don’t trade 8 for a 30 year old. 22 to 25 ideally age range I’d say.

Not fixed as the other ball with the leafs that was bouncing around would have given jets pick 1. Not sure how we got eliminated from pick 2 so quickly but… it is what it is. Rigged = Chicago or New York winning. I’m open to trading pick 8 tho. I actually think there’s a strong possibility that since McKenna isn’t generational and a winger that a d man could go 1st overall. Honestly I’m not sure McKenna is nhl ready. He might need another year. Leafs could go Reid 1st overall.

They had 9 shots all game and won. The year of the Habs is real. Both goals went in off Tampa players also.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
Now when Canadians are as patriotic as they have ever been would be a good time for a fun marketing campaign regarding the CFL. Lego video of cfl teams. Man they missing the boat here. I can see the commercial I just can’t put it together and trust me the kids would love it. Now is the time with I AM CANADIAN actually mattering again. Heck have that dude narrate it. I’m unsure but use people like beiber and reynolds and gosling to promote it even. Gosling is like the most popular actor around. He’s a ******* Canadian. Use him. Change rules or whatever else, that’s a fun original XFL gimmick but you gotta promote the damn league.

Manitoba Moose
Dom makes me think Helle should be traded for a haul. Helle is an opinionated person. He got into it over covid years ago, when they winning he’s prob ok to deal with but when losing I’m not sure I’d want to be his team mate. Dom is the exact opposite. His interview post game screamed leader and just not Helle. Honestly Helle is also at the age where goalies tend to fall off, lundqvist did around this age. If a team offers me a 1st and 2 center for Helle I take it. Sign a vet backup and give dom a shot. Cuz outside of Vasy in Tampa the goalies left in the playoffs are a bunch of who’s. Helle appears to be a good systems goalie but with the system is broken so is he. Dude had one of the worst statistical seasons of his career outside of 2 weeks on an all star team. Ask yourself when was the last time Helle stole a game? The Nashville series a few years ago now really. I like the guy also but taking off the jets tinted glasses, if you can get a haul for him you do it. And a haul for a goalie usually isn’t much but American hero and perception prob means a team like New Jersey might hmm they actually traded a 1st for Cory Schneider. If they throw in Nemec or Mercer plus their 1st I’m having a hard time saying no. Scheif and Josh are my only untouchable. 1 C. 1 D. KC is also close to untouchable cuz I think him and Scheifele are pretty much tied at the hip. You trade KC? Scheifele wants out. You trade scheif, KC wants out. Vilardi and Samberg ? I’d need an overpay on them but the rest of the roster minus the 1st or 2nd year jets (Rosen Salo Koepke types) I’m open to moving them. Lowry also but his contract is gonna age ugly.

You gotta think Quebec City. It just makes 2 much sense. Then a team in the maritmes and the only place west would be Victoria cuz Sask ain’t allowing Saskatoon.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
Each market is different. Until teams realize that then nothing changes. I don’t know what other places do to promote the teams to the locals but here in Winnipeg it’s bombers and jets basically 24 7. CFL can make all the changes they want, some will work, some will fail, people will always complain but in the end, football is gonna be non contact pulling a flag out of a guys ass cheek one day so extra games or play ins like the nba and AFL (Australia) do is fun. I think weather tho is way more unpredictable in April may than November tho. And competing with Stanley cup playoffs is just dumb. Honestly they play outside in Green Bay and buffalo (rip outside bills games) in January. Why is November a big deal. We are Canada. We should be embracing the weather later in the year. Bombers were a disaster 15 years ago.. now they making nhl team profits. CFL didn’t help with that. Wade and the local community made it happen. That needs to happen every where else. BC dude is trying. Schedules and gimmicks and whatever else are all fine temporary solutions but how do you fix the Toronto still only drawing 10k people thing. Start with owners who care. Teams owned by big corporations don’t do well it seems. I was a young boy with no chest hair but I vaguely remember John candy owning the Argos. Dude cared and that made the people care. MLSE don’t care. Calgary owner? Doesn’t care.
