At the end of the day, this year was a fairly busy one:

I count 25 UFAs traded, including earlier trades (Schneider/Begin etc) which is very comparable to each of the last three years.

Great stuff, James.
Made me go back into the archives and check on the Whale’s moves over the years.
Minus that forgettable little Francis/Cullen thing…
