I was pretty pumped for the upcoming season, but the past week has tempered my enthusiasm.
Tempering enthusiasm is normally Drivesaitl's job isn't it? This time of the CFL off-season is always a speculation-fueled roller-coaster ride. Although not as high as they are at the moment, my hopes re. the EE were on the upswing in early 2023. Then I actually saw the team on the field at Commonwealth during the home pre-season game. The debacle that followed early that year came as no surprise whatsoever after that. Obviously, January is not the optimum month for accurately predicting what will happen once the regular season begins. Speculating is fun (especially for the speculator), but not something I really care about too much.

For sure, I was just reacting to last week in particular where it seemed that a good chunk of our best players were released to test the NFL waters. Still more enthused about this upcoming year than I have been in many, many years.

If its my job I'm not very active in doing it. Don't ask me to take out the trash. I'll be by here again in a month to see whether the thread needs some sprucing up.

Speculating on the Elks? I predict some difficulty overwintering and survival rates.

I think it's just best to wait until the free agency period comes and goes and then see where we're at before making some concrete judgements.
