Boom you did a fantastic job during your tenure as GM. You built and kept up a really solid team of people in the LR and we always had a fairly competitive team.
However, I've always felt that our window from that S59 draft kept getting smaller and pushed back further. Regression changes didnt help, you and I both saw many potential seasons removed from our players who were big parts of the Blizzard's plans to succeed. I've been seeing the writing on the wall for a bit now and I think most of the team did too. From the very start HFFO has been very transparent and in constant communication with me about the direction he wanted to take the team and how I felt about that and my future here.
This was coming if the Blizzard ever wanted to become more than just a middle of the pack team that gets blown out by teams like Chicago and Texas every time we play them. Its been hard seeing people I've spent the better part of 2 years with being moved out, but their enjoyment of the league is what's most important.
