Big rumor of the morning

Montreal shopping the #1 pick to Houston for Hainault? I know he’s French Canadian, but talk about having a expansion draft blow up in your face if they give up #1 pick to get him. Houston could be a very dangerous team this next year.

What the What?

A large amount of allocation money…I smell another DP signing.

And take plenty of tissue paper so they can dry their eyes after the game.

Ives is saying

200-300k plus NY’s #1 pick next year.

Thats ALOT of assets. I think we are going to see some KP level wheeling and dealing today.

Bornstein

Any more rumblings about him coming back north?

He has started to make the game day roster

Which is progress so I am not sure if he still wants to move back.

Baptiste

Anyone surprised? Or is there more news coming?

This is a stash play

Hopefully he develops into something good, obviously we were looking for a CB project. JB probably the best “project” CB in the draft.

interesting smoke screens on this one

After Gavin claimed he wasn’t someone we were pursuing aggressively.

by skenjis on Jan 12, 2012 10:09 AM PST up reply actions  

I think we'll see a another CB signing soon

I hope. Still could use some depth on the wings though, especially with Zizzo out for awhile.

Already reported

Just waiting for league approval before they say who it is.

Rumor is it him

Spreading out the news

Will probably announce monday/early next week I would think.

Direct Quote

“We have a signing that is pending approval from the league,” Wilkinson said. “That will steer us in a certain direction, because it fills one of those voids.”

I hope this is another smokescreen

and GW has signed a stud FB and not a CB like all of us have been speculating.

by tgibson24 on Jan 12, 2012 4:44 PM PST up reply actions  

I have class all day, so I haven't been able to keep up

But Hoffman at 13 and Polak in the second round? Didn’t see that coming. Baptiste should hopefully turn into a nice player, and he’ll have great mentors in Brunner and Futty.

Oklahoma State will beat LSU in the National Title game by more than 7 points.

by No Pity on Jan 12, 2012 12:46 PM PST reply actions  

He's listed there as a forward

So I guess we’re back up to seven on the team.
