What do you think a good response is? Cause if its "Deal!" ... sounds like you just got sold a ####ty used car. I'm hoping thats not the case, and Feaster signed the $ he did expecting those would be the $ and he wouldn't get conned so easily into overpaying. At least I can't see myself stupid enough to fall for that con.

Its not really a choice, its looking at the roster and looking at the roster of your competition. Fact is, thats where the Flames sit.
