Actually it was the other way around sort of.
The BC Lions were not able to sign Free Agent Doug Flutie. Ryckman and the Stampeders made him the best offer. So the Stampeders were left with both Danny Barrett and Flutie at QB. So the Stampeders not wanting two higher paid QB's traded Barrett to BC who were than owned by Vancouver Stock Market promoter Murray Pezzum. Part of that package was junk bonds and shares in a Jamaican Gold mine IIRC.
