I call BS

It is more the case that he is the new whipping boy that couldn't be whipped because he had a homerun season and elevated his game when it mattered most. You couldn't run him out of town this season based on his play from game 3 onward, so now it is about pushing him down a pairing.

At best your plan grossly devalues an asset that is at an all time high.

But why not try a different spin on this? Brodie made a solid pairing with Engellend. Let's leave that as our bottom pair and bring Ina new player to pair with Giordano (note:not serious)
