Still think it is Zach, Perkins, Elgersma.

Perkins has enough pedigree to leapfrog Wilson, unless he stinks and Wilson shines. The OC change reduces the veteran advantage that Wilson brings.

Elgersma has already impressed with his size and arm, if he picks up SY quickly, his QB3 spot is sewn up with his passport.

Thorne may hang around on the PR.  Wilson will move on if not on the AR.

We need an entrepreneur with a decent mobile phone and a step-ladder to park themselves on the sidelines during practice, shoot some video, and post it with some commentary on YouTube. Reporting on Bomber practices is a void calling out to be filled. Could catch on - at least with the diehard fans who follow this board.

Tepee sheer lack of reporting on what is an actually taking place at camp is pure lunacy.
Ed Tate does nothing offer player refections and goals nothing camp performance related.
The club lacks in this area now and has been for years.
Irving and Turner used to report on the going's on day in day out.

Now nothing.

No kidding, I'm reading updates from whatever off season/mini-camp thing the NFL is doing right now and it's night and day. And I know it's the NFL. But what I'm reading on twitter is just a daily update from the Bengals version of Ed Tait. He does 5 thoughts from each day of camp. It's really interesting.

And it's exactly what I used to be able to read in the freep and sun on a daily basis in the min-2000s.

I can understand why Helley was upset in his exit interview, but roll things back a year and there could have been a number of players upset with the goaltending we got in last years playoffs, so chill out Helley, and focus on stopping the puck. But you can't let NE27 and his 26 goals walk and replace him with nothing. Aside from Kyle Connor and Sheifelle, nobody else scores consistently on this team. Forget a second line centre, we need a second line period!!

At the same time, Mark and Kyle went through long stretches where they were significantly outscored at 5on5. It got to the point where they were only a net positive if they played with Morrissey, which is what happened for the bulk of the season. We doubled down on the fact that they were the only ones to do anything, undermining the rest of the team even further.

And then of course, they started point hunting and staying one th ice too long and not even trying on defence as the season progressed. Another reason why continuing to fight for points in the last 20 games was so meaningless.

Moose season is done with barely a whimper. Statistically speaking it appears they had decent defensive play and their tenders were quite strong.

Sadly our up and comers were terrible in trying to score, as a team. Out of 32 teams in the league they scored the 3rd least goals. Unfortunately that lack of ability to find the back of the net hurt in the playoffs. In 7 games they only scored 8 times.

I'll put money on that he sticks

I don't believe there is any chance he's released. He might be one of the players listed on the 2 man reserve so he can't be scooped elsewhere?

Whether he can actually beat out the other candidates as # 2 or # 3 we'll see in the main TC.

O'Shea is usually the last to announce rookie camp cuts so we might not hear until tomorrow?  Anyway if anybody hears anything, let us know.

May 9, 2026 (11:59 p.m. local): Rosters must be reduced to 85 players, excluding non-counters.

Elgersma is hype so far... whether he sticks is another story.

Too often, sports teams under invest in the grassroots and it will come back to bite them 10 to 20 years later when all they got is old fans. Glad the BB is thinking ahead into the future with this investment.
