Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 its too bad we didnt pick up Watman, but i think Normand is still out there, wouldnt hurt to bring him in for a looksee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 There's no question Walters et al have a plan........the question is whether it's a good one. TBD... Logan007 and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Re: OL...When healthy, we've got 5 guys that can play....6 even, incl Keeping. But there needs to be more depth along the line, because Neufeld can't stay healthy, and Daniels had a tough go last year from that standpoint. But if, magically, Bryant, Chung, Goossen, Neufeld and Daniels all stayed healthy.....that's a line that can ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 well Penton apparently said were over the cap as it sits right now (without cutting anyone) i'm going to assume there wasn't much thought put in beyond who we targeted in FA, and it's now a matter of fiscal management. Walters probably didn't/doesn't know who he was going to cut and how much we would have to offer after the fact. I guess that's one positive to Jones, he hasn't hesitated in making room immediately and know exactly how much he has to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's only prudent to 'get' the players you targeted before you make the necessary cuts, IMO. The Sask. situation is extremely different, and mostly a one-timer. We may be over the limit at the moment, but there are still a lot of roster movements to be made.

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) because we've gone over the cap without releasing anyone. I would imagine it kind of handcuffs you from continuing on if your going deeper and deeper without making the room, as it would be a lot harder to manage the further red you go. Just my thinking given the lack of releases at this point **side note, i wonder if we make a pitch at Brian Bulcke Edited February 11, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Herb Zurkowsky @HerbZurkowsky1 4m4 minutes ago Hearing the #Als are shopping non-import MLB @HenocMuamba. Edm would seem to be most-likely destination. Wowy.....this is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigg jay Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 They couldn't really address it beforehand because they didn't know who they'd sign in FA. Now that they have some guys signed, they can start looking at cuts. You don't want to cut a player on the hopes they would replace them with a targeted free agent only to have that guy sign with another team. During his presser yesterday, Walters said they knew some tough decisions have to be made but he wouldn't speculate with the media on exactly who would get cut.

Id think Calgary would go harder for Henoc over Edm who resigned Sherritt, but i hope Huff gets outbid on everyone tbh Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Id offer Hurl and Macho Harris for Muamba straight up Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm 99% sure he won't be coming here. We probably can't afford him, & he only has 1 year left on his contract.

Blueandgold Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 We don't need him and I don't want him. We're more than good with two studs like Bass & Wild as our two backers. He already spurned us to go to Montreal. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 hurl @ $120K, macho @ 50k, that would cover a lot Henocs salary... maybe offer them peach too then weère probably under the cap again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to sign someone to fill that roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
