Obviously as your co for 3 seasons I think we built something special, and brought in a lot of great names like Spartan, Gabe, Wozy, and Ty, plus I drafted the guy who would become my best friend in Jimmy. I also have to keep telling myself it’s not my fault EDM hit a rebuild since I was the firsts 59 to leave after I asked to go to SFP. So yes it’s hard to see it all change but we stepped down for a reason, and it’s HFFO’s time to lead. I wouldn’t be too upset at the Spartan trade since I basically did the same thing to get him to SFP lol. And I think Sven was right, this wasn’t a team that was going to be a cup contender without major changes, and it seems like so far everyone is happy with their new homes. I know personally leaving EDM was hard but I’m so glad I did it because SFP really is amazing #Simp4Toast. I know a lot of the talk is around “legacies being destroyed” but you can’t let someone take over the team then get mad they’re doing what they think is best. I’m always open to talk if you’d like, and I certainly understand your feelings. At the same time, HFFO is just doing what’s best for EDM, as sad as it can be on the emotional side.
I will admit that I probably err on the side of wanting to keep the progress that was made building up a community especially after the S59 draft, and I think that's the perspective that I've always had. I've always tried to push hard with the teams I've had and go as far as possible.

I wouldn't say I'm mad at HFFO at all. The guy definitely has a plan and is executing it and getting value. 

With regards to legacy, I'm in a weird spot. I left GMing because of serious circumstances that were outside of my control, so there's always going to be the uncertainty there of wondering what I could have led had I been able to stay, but that could also just be wishful thinking. My brain was in a bit of a weird spot and this was me getting it out.
