Top Canadians in the League

I expect this to change drastically as the season wears on but here's how I see the "League All-Star Canadians" right now:

 

LT: Bourke, MTL
LG: Labatte, SSK
C: Brodeur-Jourdain, MTL
RG: Holmes, TOR
RT: Federkeil, CGY

 

REC: Getzlaf, SSK
REC: Bagg, SSK
REC: Kohlert, WPG
REC: Fantuz, HAM
REC: Gore, BC

 

RB: Harris, BC
RB: Cornish, CGY

 

DE: Cappiciotti, OTT
DT: Laurent, HAM
DT: Steele, EDM
DE: Foley, TOR

 

LB: Pruneau, OTT
LB: Emry, SSK
LB: Hurl, WPG

 

DB: Bucknor, WPG
DB: Rwabukamba, BC
DB: Hinds, EDM
DB: Gabriel, TOR
DB: Stephen, HAM

 

K: Hajrullahu, WPG

P: Maver, CGY

 

Thoughts?  Remember, it's easy to say a player SUCKS AND SHOULDN'T BE ON THE LIST!!!!!! but you have to offer up a name to replace him.

I suspect Westerman will be on there in lieu of Cappiciotti in due time, but not yet.

 

I'd probably give the nod to Durie over Kohlert at this point in time.

 

Cory Greenwood may get on there ahead of Hurl as well, but again - not yet.

I actually had Greenwood on there ahead of Hurl but I thought people would freak out because he hasn't actually played in the CFL much yet.  But I expect him to be a top Canadian LB this year for sure.

 

I considered Durie but he's such a bandaid.

But he is so unreal good when healthy... although I guess that's why we were all OK with losing Watson

If healthy, I might have Gaydosh ahead of Steele

I consider Butler over Rwabukamba by a narrow margin. 

 

Also you should have went with Greenwood if it was your first decision.  Make people freak out, it would have made for some good discussion.

Yeah I blew it.

 

I also forgot Butler and M-O Brouillette.  The DB's were tough to do because it's all safeties and field corners.

Paredes probably should be there ahead of Lirim

Perhaps.  Paredes is pretty inconsistent year-to-year.  Two years below 80% and two years above 90%.  Hajrullahu obviously only has one season to his name but it was 87% to Paredes' 73%.

Lirim, every day, over Rene.

You forgot the QB:

Brandon Bridge - MTL

 

I saw him in that second pre-season game.  He was under-whelming.

With Yantz cut, he wins by default.

Also:

GM - Wally Buono - BC

Coach - Tom Higgins, MTL

Coombs might be on that list soon.

Even with injuries, Mace should be on there

Is Mace even starting for them? I was looking at the depth chart for their last pre-season game, and he was 2nd behind someone else at DT, so I wasn't sure if he'd lost his spot...

I like Mace, but man, he has played less than half the games since coming into the league 4 years ago.  I believe I saw on Twitter that he has played 33 out of 72 or something.  Now he's back on the 6-game.

it's not injury-prone..it's just the Mace Pace.
