It is a blow to lose the top receiver in the CFL but they have enough other weapons their offense will be fine.

Your Rider homerism is laughable. Koch is 6-0, 198, small for a WR, and is slow. He exhausted his college eligibility and never got a sniff in the NFL. Those guys are a dime a dozen.
He only caught 21 balls last year for 299 yards in eight games...that translates to about 45 catches for 650 yards in a full season which would make him an average receiver at best and a fringe one at worst...those are acceptable numbers for a depth Canadian receiver like Arjei Franklin (whose numbers over the past 3 years are almost identical) but when you're wasting an import spot on a slow, non-deep threat guy who has no upside its not good management.
All reports on Sisco is that he lacks natural talent which is never good news at a skill position like receiver. Apparently he has a good work ethic which could likely see him as a CFL regular perhaps like Getzlaf (who hasn't accomplished much in his career when not playing the Stamps) but I do remember reading a scouting report on him a while back that said he hasn't progressed that well since being drafted and that the Riders reached for him as his ceiling and upside is quite low. Fantuz on the other hand broke records throughout the CIS and came into the draft very highly touted. Odds are against Sisco becoming the next Fantuz.
