Goalie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 penton tweeted that bc really wants to move up to #2 and is wondering if walters will give buono want he wants. # 2 for #5 and #14 or keep #2. I know they love the guy and nobody wants to give up a roster player, but if I'm Walters, I'm hardballing Buono. I don't want two picks for the #2, I want #5 and a guy like Haidara. oh i agree, 2 picks isn't enough. I was thinking like #5 and westerman. But haidara works too.

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hopefully they have more than one team interested in the 2nd pick. Who does BC want? Foucault? They don't need Goossen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need Goossen. read somewhere that several teams are interested in goosen, not just as a centre though. He is apparently quite versatile and can play guard also so really teams need these types of players, i think they probably want goosen maybe not as a centre though.

TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I would take Goossen as a guard and play him in Week 1. Lions could roll out Olafioye-Goossen-Norman-Fabien-Steward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Trading for Westerman without a contract could be quite detrimental in February. That could be argued it is more of a gamble than selecting a prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 There are almost always surprises on draft days- trades, swaps of draft positions and dark horses emerging. This year promises to be one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I want a starter out of our first pick badly. Trading down definitely intrigues me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Trading down doesn't intrigue me. I 'd be happy with Lavertu or Goosen as we NEED a center and the idea of converting Morley doesn't thrill me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I hope we keep our pick. We need to upgrade our Canadian base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley has always been barely good enough and would not be a starter on most other teams. If we can trade him for value, great. He won't be missed very much.

B-F-F-C Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 My question is this. If BC believes they need Goosen? Wouldn't we need him more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I hope we keep our pick. We need to upgrade our Canadian base. If we can get a pick & a NI player we would be. I like Mike's idea of #5 & Haidara. We would need something that good to make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 My question is this. If BC believes they need Goosen? Wouldn't we need him more? The Lions would be putting him at guard, I would think with Norman at C... Bombers have the more pressing need at C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 To me, the only team drafting Goossen to play C is the Bombers and mayyyyyyyyyybe Edmonton. Everyone else would be taking him at G. Edmonton signed Sorensen, but could still challenge him. Montreal just lost Flory, and their depth at guard is quite shallow. Plus LBJ is a rock. BC has Matt Norman at C, who they drafted in 2012. Toronto, Calgary, Sask and Hamilton I don't see actively pursuing him unless he dropped to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBieber Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 So is it basically a certainty that Ottawa is taking Lavertu? If Foucault didn't get the rookie camp offer, I'd say he is going #1... I still think they're fine at C with Krausnick, so I wouldn't be surprised if they still took the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
