Fair - Laine was to correct for a delta between Bratt and Mangi, but TBH I didn't think hard enough about Bratt vs. Mangi...Bratt's slightly better numbers can be mostly explained deployment;
Bratt is 2 yrs younger and IMO still a more valuable asset than Mangi, but the difference definitely isn't as big as Tkachuk to Laine. So nevermind.
