Three Way Trade Craziness
Apparently the Cats have acquired Winnipeg import OL Dan Goodspeed, from, er, Saskatchewan. Apparently we gave up OL Jordan Rempel (who is apparently an import according to TSN, which was news to me) and our second round pick in the draft (ninth overall) and we got back a future somebody who will probably never get out of camp (a fifth round draft pick) and no doubt a hardy handshake. Not really sure what this is about. The ninth overall pick seems like it might have been useful, especially with some pseudo Canadians emerging from the NCAA woodwork for this year's draft. Personally I have always thought that import olinemen were a fungible commodity, so swapping them? Goodspeed has more experience than Rempel, so maybe we will be better immediately next year. Or Goodspeed has nothing left in the tank and we've got a sucky oline next year.

They're fungible commodities when they're competent. Our tackles were not, in that sense, fungible in the last couple of years.
Plus, if he's as good as his billing implies, maybe we'll see some strong O-line action for a change this year.
