Barring a minor miracle Gaydosh is going to HAM.

Given their National depth on the interior of their D-Line I doubt he starts in Hamilton.

Not a bad back up though. He'll start eventually.

For sure.  There isn't a team in the CFL that wouldn't sign a quality National like Gaydosh.

He's a free agent so no reason other teams shouldn't pursue him, hopefully Walters is making inquiries.

He's a Hamilton draft pick, not a free agent.

Are you sure? I thought HAM still owned his rights.

Hamilton absolutely owns his rights.  They drafted him after all.

Can't believe some of the comments of us not 'needing' Hall or "Hall doesn't fit in Etch's defense". Reminds me, a few years ago, when we had a  young Canadian Olineman at guard and some poster here (same one maybe?) went on a bit of a rant on how 'overrated' he was and he wasn't even the 3rd best olineman on our team (or something to that affect). The following season was his last here, and signed at home and all Brendon Labatte is now is (arguably) the best Canadian Olineman in the CFL. Yep - don't sign Hall - we don't need him... Phuuuuuulease 

 

I think it will take O'Shea 3-4 more losses until he sees the need for improvement on the D-line, right now he's delusional.

D-Line is not a major concern for the Bombers from where I'm sitting.  O-line and National depth would be more pressing issues.

Well no **** but I don't see any of those types available. DL hasn't been good enough lately. They have struggled to generate pressure in the last few games from the defensive line and that is a problem. Can't be blitzing every down, need to be able to get pressure from your 4 up front and the Bombers have had issues with that, especially with Vega limping around. It's not the biggest issue, but it is something they could use an improvement on and Hall is a guy who is available.

I hear you.  Sometimes you have to take what is available and work on more pressing needs later.  I disagree with this approach as the Bombers, imo, won't win the Grey Cup this year so why not make sure money and draft picks are in place to fix the areas I mentioned?  Fix the o-line with a free agent or a key draft pick or two and have a run at the Grey Cup in 2016 (or 2015 if things going really well).

This is true sometimes.  Most years there are about 3 teams with real chances at winning but the odd time an underdog can come around and win.

It's the CFL, you just need to make the playoffs and win 3 games in a row at most, most teams can do that. Plus there are no guaranteed contracts so if you have too much money in one place and need it for somewhere else it's easy to simply release a player. Take the improvements where you can get them, as long as you're not trading away your picks and nationals there is no downside. 

Can't see any NFL teams signing Gaydosh after all his injuries...  when he gets to Ham, they will have Laurent, Gaydosh, Bulcke - all potential starters on a team that is already starting eight Canadians.

 

If they lose again this weekend, I would think they start looking at trades/re-rebuild...  Bulcke would fit on an 'Etch D'... maybe Stephen shakes loose?  Giguere?

Thanks.  Tell us something we don't already know and haven't discussed ad-nauseum.  Going to tell us where the BB are going to pick up some good Natl. O-linemen???? 

Wonder what Hamilton would want for Evan Gill's rights?

Hmmmm...no word yet on Hall signing with any CFL teams.  What are his other options?

Is he eligible for a P.R. position down there?

I'd love it if we traded for his rights. They already have a crap load of Canadian DT's anyway, if they land Gaydosh I'm sure they'll virtually give Gill's rights away

Gaydosh in HAM today. Signing

Yes.

Boy oh boy, if the ask wasn't too steep, even if he truly wants to play out his eligibility and we're not seeing him until next year, that would be a huge step in the right direction.

Wonder what Hamilton would want for Evan Gill's rights?

 

Flip our second rounder next year for him.

Can't understand your logic, he was Hamilton's first round draft choice so they're not giving him away.
