Good on both GM's for getting this done.

Just for the record, Mike Richards would not have been enough... I wasn't seeking out a deal to move Iggy off this team, the idea was to build the championship around him. 2nd was I stubbornly didn't want Iggy, Kipper, Bouwmeester and Dion all on the same team. (This has nothing to do with Ravi, if anyone deserves to have them it's him). And since I held the last card I intended to not give in at all cost, regardless who was offered, till the others disbanded. Ravi just like the Million Dollar Man, found my price just to prove I could be bought.
I feel icky and cheap for selling out, but I know I just added two amazing horses to the stable that won't fizzle away like the OV trade did for me
