Extra Draft Selection

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Demski & McInnis were very slow builders and without hindsight SSK appeared to make the right choice moving on.  Goes to show, I guess.

But Philpot The Greater (MTL) was basically top notch from day 1.  That's the type of NAT REC you want to draft!

I love how Greenie fans complain to this day about all the great players they let walk out the door, from the 2 REC above to Neufeld to Yoshi.  Every team lets some slip through the cracks, but SSK has a knack for losing middling players to FA that end up being superstars!  Long may they keep up that track record!

It's the eternal Sask. curse, no matter the state of the team, it's difficult to find players that want to reside in such a small city more than a year or two. I think that's why they often pickup older CFL players like Micah Johnson or Charleston Hughes who've been around, they're on the backside of their careers and are happy to find a place to play.
