Coach's Show
Last year was last year. Harris was fine a couple years ago under hall. I feel people aren't giving Harris a fair chance. What if he just wasn't used properly last year. Besides we will see what happens in the pre season games

I don't want to say it but if it's heart failure it once again shows you that steroids aren't a good thing. RIP Kimbo Slice but man.... I'm not overly surprised. Dude was a beast

22 and Myers to Philly for Sanheim and 18 is fair plus sanheim is on an ELC and is LHD and to boot is a Manitoban

Interesting. As the world turns really. Think Quebec City would be expansion if true and Carolina off to Vegas. Makes sense. Gives Vegas basically a decent team to start with. Decent. Not great. Like Atlanta when they moved here. Decent pieces but needed some work

Donald Trump
I think you are underestimating the amount of racists living in the US. I also think that you are underestimating the amount of American people who are sick and tired of career politicians. Trump has a very real chance to win. Yeah he pisses some people off. .. yeah he's not politically correct but really that's why lots and lots of people like him. He might be uninformed on lots of issues but he is saying it differently... he's speaking to the normal American who is tired of the same old same old and it's working and I wouldn't be surprised if he absolutely destroys hillary Clinton and wins the presidency. Would I vote for him?If it was a choice between him and Hillary? I probably would. Doesn't mean I agree with trump. Just means I'm sick of the same old same old. Trump will probably win. Don't be surprised if he does. Also don't be surprised if the vice president he picks is the one actually running things

Division rivals play no role or shouldn't. If you are trading any player you trade him to the team who makes the best offer. Doesn't matter if it's Colorado Chicago or Toronto or Whoever really.

Jones might be a good coach but he's not a good gm so far.

I'm sure they are also. And this is the problem with retiring numbers basically. Who do you retire. It can't be that many because there's only so many numbers each position can use.

Ploen Milt Walby are the only 3 I can think of.

Colorado was shopping Duchene last year so he very well could be the guy. I'd then strongly consider moving little or Duchene to Columbus for Murray or Werenski. Who knows tho. Mackinnon would be interesting as like Trouba right now is an rfa. I say Columbus cuz they don't have a number 1 center and I think they would consider Murray for little or Duchene I've heard if a deal does happen it could be quite large. So you never know. Maybe 3 way Columbus WPG Colorado To Colorado Trouba pick 22 To Columbus Duchene To Wpg Pick 10 and Murray That would be interesting Jets take LHD at 10. Juolevi Sergachev Bean even maybe RHD Fabbro who some say might be the best of the bunch. Don't think they are high on Chychrun

Who knows what I'd true and isn't true in this whole riders vs St John stuff but I'd suspect that if another team took st John he'd be signed and in camp by now. Riders are playing a bit of hardball here it seems and I'm not sure that's how I'd want a new gm to come in. Being arrogant and prick like might work in other places but I don't think it works in places like sask and wpg. Some rider fans may be drinking the Kool aid just like some bomber fans were with Mike Kelly... but in the end we all saw the mess he created. Rider fans will eventually see the mess Jones and company are creating. I guess the only real difference is Jones has a resume but in a way so did Kelly but both were and are inexperienced in the GM role.

First camp in a long time that it seems like they cut some guys and bring more in. I like it.

They did say blockbuster but who knows if anything happens. Mackinnon for Trouba is blockbuster. Could be trouba 22 for Duchene and 10. But Then Scheif Little Duchene Lowry seems like overkill. Trouba Little for Mackinnon? ?

Try Duchene or Mackinnon. Of anyone read Mckenzies piece it said think Jones RyJo type of deal.

Trouba is better than maatta tho and healthier. Rielly contract is comparable.

Jets won't be after forwards. They could be after a guy like Perreault for example. A team had to dump him due to salary issues. Bartkowski and Schlemko aren't really upgrades. But a team who are tight to the cap and needing to move a LHD for example might be the jets target

Sounds like it might be Achilles for Richardson according to Penton on twitter.

Basically it's just a guess. He's got lots of guys possibly being traded. Trade bait 2016. I wouldn't be surprised but I wouldn't guarantee that they trade him either. It all comes down to how much he wants. If it's ridiculous yup traded. If not..maybe he stays

Opening up Portage and Main debate
I would agree with FrostyWinnipeg that when cuz it's a when not if but when they take down the world war 2 style bunkers.... an overhead circular type of walkway would be very nice. Let's just stop pretending that traffic is an issue here. It's bigger in places like new York LA Calgary Edmonton for that matter and they don't have issues with traffic and people. I hate the argument about traffic. It's winnipeg not some city with over 1 million people. Time to tear down those walls Mr Bowman
