saw the tilt, after the game the other day and the fight was a dandy.
He really got clocked a few times, as did his opponent, and most definitely Reaves succumbed 

Olivier is one tough customer. Probably the best enforcer in the league.

I wouldn't say he has no trade value but a 6th or 7th round pick is not out of the question.

Guy's like Kelly are dime a dozen. The kid has done little to nothing in his first three years.

First he has to decide to re-sign Hallett. If he does than Kelly or Ball could be the odd one out. Ball is more likely to accept a PR spot ( if necessary ). That leaves Kelly as possible trade bate for a lower draft pick.

The other factor is what does management feel about the 3 Canadian LB's drafted last season. They also play ST's and look to have more upside than the DB choices.

kelly is signed Hallet is not, also Kelly isnt good enough that anyone would trade for him. If we do decide to go in another direction he would be released (unless we were making a bigger trade and throwing him in)

Perhaps it also sends a message to other free agents that we have an opening at center, making those currently unsigned less likely to accept a lowball offer from current team, i.e. McEwan or Woodmansey

Just 1/2 way thru and Scheif is -3, while Connor is -2.
Great offensively but these 2 are so meek defensively

Stanley is a 3rd pairing D who plays sheltered minutes and has the second most minor penalties in the entire league, constantly putting us in poor position.

A couple talking heads who don't watch our games look at the goals and make those lists but it's not really centred in reality.

Sure, but he has certainly upped his game this year.  He's got a lot of penalty minutes because he's gotten nasty, and using his 6'7 frame to become the team's enforcer.  And he's up to 15min/game.

And he's been healthy.

Who saw Tanev getting 6 years $4.5milAAV?  Zadarov 6 years $5milAAV?

Big Stan can get 5 years at $5mil with the right team.

Releasing Kman early gives him a chance to get other offers, not sure what the market out there is for OC's, he might get a career extender like Obby did as a 6th man.

Or he can transition to his post game career. 

If he's settled in Winnipeg he must have some side gig, maybe he'll consider moving to that full time.

Nick has been very healthy for most of his career. Missed 4 games last year due to an eye injury. Just a very steady player that knows our system well. 100 games in 6 years, 42 DTs, 80 STs, 1 Sack, 1 Int, 1 TD, 1 FF. 2 Grey Cups. I think Miller keeps Hallett before Kelly.

You're probably right, but using the 1 games is a nice way to hold onto players waiting for a rainy day.  Hopefully they don't make unrealistic promises of playing time to FA they sign this year then feel obligated to prop up their pay-cheques on the 1 game.  If Vanterpool doesn't make the roster this year as a starter, all that money that went to the 1 game for non-injured players last year shall be classified as wasted.

Last year teams didn't get to spend the new SMS in free agency so that created a cushion to put players on 1 game IR.

That shouldn't happen this season for players with higher salaries unless actually nicked.
