Chipman will never allow Toews to be traded, but he's exactly the kind of piece we should be moving out the door.

I don't know what the return would be. It makes me wonder if such a trade is even worthwhile unless it's a package deal.

13, 19, 91 could be a dominant line next year.

It hasn't worked out this season, so why would this team even entertain such a risky proposal next season?

So, Pokey is like the only returning American receiver we have at this point, eh?

Yes at the moment. Starting the season with Wilson back is an advantage over 2025. Not having a healthy Schoen is a disadvantage.

Sure, lately.  One year of struggle after unexpectedly losing some key contributors, and others struggling.

It wasn't for lack of effort on Walters part that the team didn't get the expected cup at home.  Which was my point.

And as for results, we still had a winning season and made the playoffs, and had a chance to get into the Eastern Final.

So, while compared to the previous 5 years, disappointing.  Compared to the 10 years+ previous to that, quite happy.

I mentioned the problems over the last 4 years. Last year was just reaching the bottom of the glass. The problems were the continuation of known issues.

The previous 10 years are not relevant. It's about where we are now and why.

Toews will not be traded unless Toews wants to be traded.  And he might want to to help the club get another first rounder.  And then come back next year, a true rental.

I'd love to extend him and watch him continue to build chemistry with Fetts.  I think the early struggles Fetts had might have been in part to the early struggles Toews had, and thier success now could be because Toews is finally rounding into shape.

13, 19, 91 could be a dominant line next year.

Which part of lately did you miss?

That's just sports fandom. And recency bias plays a role, IMO.

Since 2019: 72 wins, 32 losses, 5 division championships, 2 Grey Cup championships (effectively erasing 29 years of failure and disappointment). I can't think of another team in this league that's done better.
We've got witness immense success as fans of this franchise under the current regime but also numerous players put their names in the history books of the WFC. It's been a run for the ages.

With that said, however, I think most would agree that last season's failure stings much more than 2022, 2023, and 2024 simply due to the fact that the WFC hosted the GC and didn't really do enough to get there. A strong start was quickly erased and they never had the horses to push for that sixth GC appearance on home field.

"What have you done for me lately?" becomes pretty glaring due to that most recent failure. And now those in charge have to do whatever they can in their power to get this team back on track and hopefully rid us of the bitter aftertaste of 2025's failure.

Context also comes into play. We're in the period of the off season approaching free agency. We're discussing what moves to make to make our team better in 2026. And while we loved all those Grey Cup appearances, it's just not relevant to the conversation in this moment.

[Tough crowd.]

Winning 2 GC's, making it to the GC 5 out of 6 years, it's been an OK run...
