i dont think weekes wouldve broke that story if they werent serious about moving markstrom, so we gotta assume something's cookin on that front, maybe @Devils9 knows more than we do man

tbh i think its a good thing theyre giving themselves time to figure out the cap situation and dman spot too man @ryan_devils made some sense about them maybe having someone lined up but idk if thats for sure or anything
