Some people said this would be an issue with Ottawa back in the league but it sure doesn't look that way to me. Canadian talent in the CFL is pretty solid... I realize the depth isn't endless but there is arguably room to add more without diminishing the level of play.

Assuming that you'd need at least another 25 or so Canadian players to stock a roster (including PR guys) I think you could probably depend on U-Sports to churn out 15 to 20 of them, with Canadian NCAA players and junior players accounting for the rest.

Beyond 10 I concede that it might be less of a sure thing...
