Well its still 2 months away, but I'd trade Lumsden away to an Eastern team and get a couple players (at least 1 with CFL experience) back.

An eastern team will have a better chance at signing him (Hamilton, TO, OTT), just because of where he's from and where his dad played, then a Western team would.

He may try the NFL anyway, but a team (like Toronto especially being the GC champs) out there may be more willing to wait and take the risk.
