Blue In BC

Quote from: theaardvark on December 10, 2025, 06:31:50 PMOline is always going to be a work in progress, unless players are very, very good, and get huge offers, they tend to stay. So that's why they don't make my list.

Kramdi is a team leader, a hit machine and shown to be effective where ever deployed.  I love his attitude and his passport.

List is for, as you notice, conversation.

Kramdi is a very good player but I'm also considering specific positional depth we might have to make a change. We drafted 3 LB's last year and we might bring back Makonzo. Woodbey is another possible choice.

So ratio and SMS will factor in big in the direction they go at that position, more so than any other Canadian starting position.

Happy to have him back but there might be a bidding war for him back east. IIRC he was at about $140K in 2025, so where do we draw the line and what other offers does he get? Not sure.
One game at a time.

Danny Maciocia coached Kramdi at the Univ. of Mtl and has a very high opinion of his intelligence so he'd likely be his biggest suitor, but unlikely he has the budget for another expensive Natl. DB with Marc-Antoine Dequoy also headed for free agency, he might be in line for $200k.

Can Walters please open the vault for one of Katsatonis or Duqouy?  Please?  I'd love to see either of those guys in our defensive backfield.

I do think our secondary needs an injection from somewhere. I'd strongly consider repurposing Deatrick Nichols money.

Fat chance this happens. Both are top $$nat s and their respective clubs won't let them walk like we do with top NAT players. We need to upgrade our OL and DL, cam Allen at safety will have to do

Where is Jaworski? Guy had an awesome game in the one he played in.

I'd give up Kramdi for Dequoy... if we had to.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Kramdi is a coaches favourite. He's not going anywhere if he wants to stay. I think we might have to make some choices with Holm and Nichols. But that's hard too because it took us longer than normal to get our secondary sorted this year and even had to bring back Houston.

Tough off season.
