All I can say is over and over again we can’t let it get to this point again for our pending UFAs. Deal them before they get to this state. The market winds blew unexpectedly but can’t do anything about it. Would have been nice if Conroy was able to squeeze out a little more or better conditions but it could be growing pains.

Yes if anything people should be very thankful that Conroy pulled off the Lindholm deal when he did. It’s not always the case that prices rise towards the trade deadline.
