Hugh is now an Eskimo. GL to the Lions for the rest of the season... I'm off to bother those guys now.

Just for the record, Hugh absolutely loved it in Vancouver, loved playing for the Lions, and was very much hoping to sign a new contract even it if meant continuing to play behind McCallum.

My thought is that there might be no takers on trade offers because other teams know that Hugh becomes a free agent at the end of the year, so there's no need to spend any talent to get him.

It would allow us to transition the new field goal kicker as we transition McCallum out and it would be an advant...
