Global Draft

[Blue In BC]

But, like Stats Junkie pointed out, these 2 players would be eligible to be a last minute replacement on game day.

We already had that ability previously but off the PR as late additions.

Yup, but it could be argued that these 2 spots would be filled by more game ready, veteran players than what you would find on the PR.

That's an even worse resolution. Parking 2 vets that are earning a higher than ELC to NOT DRESS but get paid.

Worse option than what?

Currently they would be on the 1 game injured list and wouldnt be eligible to be a last minute game replacement.

IMO this is just adding transparency to the rosters and is a favorable option for players and the teams.

Reserve lists isn't a new concept. The CFL for the longest time had a 4 man reserve list.

Worse than 2 rookies on ELC deals. It's not a resolution, it's a band aid evasion and bad business solution IMO.

Normally ( except last year ) teams don't park veterans on 1 game IR for extended periods unless they are really injured. . Veterans play and when injured are replaced by mostly rookies off the PR.  This plan parks healthy players and that makes zero sense.

Again, the issue is paying players to not play ( vets in particular ). Increase the roster by 2 would be better. Add 1 Canadian and 1 more DI. If adding another DI is an issue than add 2 Canadians.
