Lawless reporting that no trades are in the works... which may or may not be true.  A bit disappointing, would be selling players for picks right now.

 

Still cheering for Walters but I still think we should have given him a few years as Asst GM and brought in someone with experience.  I'd give Walters a C+ right now... 

 

Scouting - C+

- great Cdn finds, LH, JFG

- moderate import success - 

 

Trades - C+

overpaying, maybe has no choice

Bucknor deal looking really good

don't like the Brohm trade

Neufeld trade looking bad

 

Free Agency - B+

got some talent even with Mackstink on us

Randle was probably the biggest signing of FA imo

feels like we passed on some good guys but hard to know what's behind the scenes

 

Coaches - C

swung and missed with Stubler, Etch was best of the rest

safe choice with MB

still believe in OShea

Tracey was a good choice but not working so far

Wiley needs to be here full-time

 

Personnel - C+

bit slow with import talent - would have like more competition at camp

brought in some stinkers - Kuale, Bryant - but I'll hang that on the coaches

Walters has a good eye - Newman (probably), Stoudermire, Cornell, Kromah

Couple more years and we'll have a nice Cdn core

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just like us, Ottawa needs to build up their national depth. Trading picks will hurt them way more than they can benefit from Tate.

Also, if they wanted Tate why would they not have taken him in the expansion draft?

 

 

He wasn't available.  He was protected.

 

Teams could only protect one QB and there's no way the Stamps protected Tate over Mitchell. And if they had there's no way the RedBlacks would have taken Glenn over Mitchell.

 

Mitchell was protected not Tate. The redblacks picked Glenn. 

 

I think Huff was hoping that Ottawa would take Tate instead of Glenn.

Yep, you know it. 

Huff had the luxury of too much QB depth....whoever Ottawa took he was still going to have a back up QB in the fold.
