Some good thoughts. IMO Jones is a middling talent, and is turning 33. Bridges might be a good reclamation project but a bit concerning how his 2025 production fell off from his rookie year. Dunbar is bigger than Stearns, and a bit more productive last year, although the difference between his production and Stearns was not huge. And Zach is finicky about his receivers, and seemed to get comfortable with Stearns as the season progressed. I would like an upgrade at receiver but maybe we could consider leaving Stearns in place as the 3/4 and going after an impactful nat? Someone like Emilus is a more likely candidate for a 1/2 receiver. He would cost a bundle though, and we are already paying Demski 240,000, and my bet is Wilson is getting 175-200,000. Clercius seemed to fall out the starting rotation by the end of the year. Even Schaffer-Baker would be a nice upgrade on him.

Sure a point, especially due to a terrific comeback, but alas,
it isn't a victory.
Glad it's a big break time for our lads

That under the radar guy is what we tried ly at several spots that really didnt work out

They shouldn't alter their strategy based on one bad outcome (Mitchell), the odds of success are never 100% but they probably shouldn't bet the farm on a single receiver either. 

Size matters to me, so I'm weeding out the shrimps right from the start.

I still like the flashes we've seen from Wheatfall and think he can develop further with more attention, he deserves a spot on the PR even if they start the season with another receiver, just for continuously running his routes at top speed.

Aberhardt has better size than Tim White or Sterns but he certainly isn't a burner or destined to be a #1 receiver. 

Steven Dunbar, almost forgotten in Edmonton but as just good as Tim White IMO, with better size at 6'-3" 202 lbs.

Shemar Bridges, the Ti-Cats may let him slip away, Lawler stole the spotlight from him in 2025 after his outstanding 2024 season.  Again good size at 6'-4" 208 lbs.

My #1 under-the-radar pick is Tevin Jones from the Stamps, tough, good at YAC, and big at 6'-4" 225 lbs.

Ayden Eberhardt?

I think Eberhardt is the same type of receiver as Sterns, a solid #3 or 4, we need a #1 to give Wilson and Demski more room to operate.

Canada made far to many mistakes last night. Scoring on your own net, and two big giveaways for goals. Also have to clean up the penalties.

Never been a big Tim White fan, he has his moments but as often as not he drops balls that hit him in the hands.  Also not really a cheap option, would like them to find an under the radar play-maker rising to become a star, which usually means coming off their ELC.

At this point, my most desired outcome is a high draft pick.

Agreed. This season's all but a write-off at this point.

I just don't get Montreal letting him go, good on the Lions, their D just got better

Could be. Not sure what happens with Awe or other costs in SMS as some players may be lost. A little like the same question about Sankey signing in Winnipeg. Great player but does he start of become a DI / rotation player and what is the additional hit to the SMS.
