SnowRogue gets his wish

WHAT? I can't believe this. I'd hate to lose Waters to Hamilton especially and it's way easier to say Waters.

Very good punter, one of the best directional punters in the league IMO. Is also a very good field goal kicker; who seemed to have lost his mojo. So, if he can regain form = a very good all round kicker.

I think this is an awful signing from an Argos persepective. I remember reading an article in the Winnipeg sun about this guy how all of his teammates gave up on him at the end of the season and how he was kicking field goals all by himself during practice how nobody wanted to be close to him. I have watched CFL football for close to 30 years and don't remember a kicker that struggled as bad as this guy did last season I remember seeing him miss chip shots from 15-20 yards practically every bomber game that I saw. Should have went after Justin medlock and let go of swayze and not bothered with this guy. Or if they were so much to getting a Canadian they should have looked into getting a cis kicker and try to groom him into training camp.

I can see Waters going to Hamilton. The Argos haven't split up K/P duties for quite a long time. Both Waters and Hajrullahu struggled with FG's last year.

I agree AF87, Hamilton make the most sense to me as well.

Swayze and Trevor are good friends. I can see him in Ottawa.

That was my thinking as well. I don't think Ottawa looks at Chris Milo as a top flight guy, and who really know how good Pfeffer is going to be (sorry SnowRogue)?

Besides, Hamilton already has Hugh O'Neil.

Eastern Division games are going to be dogfights this year. Lots more to come in free agency but the teams are shaping up to be quite competitive with each other. It will go down to the wire to make the playoffs and then win the conference to go to the Grey Cup. Nobody will be able to take a week off.

Maybe this will finally be the year of the East crossover.

I like: Waters to OTT; Pfeffer released and signed by Argonauts; Pfeffer kicking fg's and Hajrullahu punting.

Out West there are no slouches either. Winnipeg will be much better and contend for the playoffs. Saskatchewan will be better because Chris Jones will beat all of the bushes for talent like always. BC might be the weaker team out there but not by much. BC will still be in the mix too. The West will be just as competitive as the East. Probably no crossovers at all in either division. Good teams in both divisions will miss the playoffs.

As of right now, on paper, looks that way. But we all know injuries can change things in a hurry.

I don't know if Winnipeg will leap frog past the Stampeders and Eskimos, but I do think they have a good shot at that 3rd spot in the West.

I've moved the Trevor Harris posts to the appropriate thread. Let's try to keep this thread devoted to the signing of Lirim.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that the league will still have at least two teams (and maybe three) that are well below the contenders. At this point I would bet Montreal and B.C. will be two of them, not sure about the third. With everyone signing FAs it's easy to say "this team is really improved," but those judgments often ignore where teams were weak and what players they have lost. I'm not at all convinced Winnipeg is suddenly a playoff contender despite everyone proclaiming them the "big winner" of Day 1.

[1argoholic]

You can't just buy a contender, you have to bring along your own talent as well. I think Winnipeg is grasping at straws at this point since they have the longest Grey Cup Championship drought. Hopefully the stretch continues.

I think you can look at Calgary as possibly getting worse. They sure haven't gotten better the last two days.

And I think Montreal is a train wreck waiting to happen. No QB (Glenn doesn't count, he'll get injured at some point) and their OL has regressed.

I really hope he finds some shoes that fit properly.

If we had to go with two kickers Paul McCallum is probably still available. He was still great on FG's it was his kickoffs and punting that had tailed off.

He has no desire to play in the east. Personally, I would want nothing to do with him.
