Thanks to Rob for the quick talks.

Just wanted a upgrade on the #5 spot on defense and that's why we made this deal.

Fairly easy deal. While I drop in OV points, the two players share the same DF rating, and Ex is a tad bit younger. A little less SC as well, but when you're in the 40s, who's counting.

It's a fairly big drop in OVR, I would have thought a better prospect would have gone the other way. That's a fairly minor thing though, this deal isn't massive anyways.

Proto likes his Hitmen prospects.
