Both are fast and strong PKers. Byron wouldn't have cost $3M. But I guess you have to reach the floor.

Nothing to be upset about, just something to consider.
Understandable. I think the management was actually looking for an upgrade on Byron. Imo, we found a player as quick as Byron, can score a few more points than Byron, and his contract helps us reach the cap floor. I wish Byron the best, but Raymond is definitely an upgrade. Solid 3rd liner.

Our 3rd line now is probably Raymond - Stajan - D. Jones
