Nice move by the Ticats acquiring Canadian DE Capicciotti, International O-Lineman Xavier Fulton in exchange for Canadian DT Lyndon Gaydosh, International reciever Tommy Streeter and draft picks.
Strengthens Hamilton's pass rush significantly!!

Hamilton can afford both Chick and Capicciotti but the Riders sure couldn't? What a mistake it was for Jones to let Chick go.

Very interesting trade.

Ticats get a couple of vets who have been CFL starters - wonder if either ends up playing much for Kenty, but maybe provide good depth ? Capacciotti is a very good DE IMO, but didn't fit in with ego's D this year after being such a supposed key "ratio buster" FA signing; maybe he gets some playing time on the Ticats D to help spell the good DE pair (Chick & Tracey) they already have ?



Gaydosh was such a top DT prospect but hasn\t panned out for much CFL playing time - for whatever reasons, but he has missed a lot of time with injury. ego-Jones has had issues with finding his 7 only need apply NI starters, and seems he has DT pencilled-in as one of them (picked up Greg Alexandre - one of the many added to the roster NIs for the Riders this year) - and maybe Gaydosh becomes a solid starting DT for them; the Riders need as many draft picks as they can get IMO; not sure how they need any more import receivers with the good new talent they have there.

Is there a CFL trade dead-line ?

Apparently - the Riders have acquired DB Andrew Lue from the Als for a draft pick.

Lue played a bit of STs for the Als and had some injury issues i think; but he got ZERO shot to play in an Als D-backfield that has had numerous issues or glaring deficiencies the past couple of seasons; similar to another Als high draft pick D-backfielder Chris Ackie - former CIS all-star D-half with ZERO playing time chance on D there. Lue is a natural corner/ CIS all-star there; good size = maybe he gets a shot to play safety for ego-Jones as that is one of his 7 NIs only need apply positions.
