I mean it is about Valimaki tho given that’s why the deal fell through. I held the same belief that brad did that Valimaki was untouchable even with a stone extension. Imma go on a limb and say in 4 years time Valimaki will hold more value than Stone when taking into account his contract, position and age. I obviously like Valimaki more than most but I truly believe we have a beast in the making here.
