Yeah, I'm not sure why I should pretend like it was just one bad year.
It was 1 bad year on the heels of 6 years of abject mediocrity. When 'eh' is as good as you can hope for and you've now burned your best shot at building excess value in a long-term contract, I'd say it's fair to start writing up the obituary on the Leake deal.
It may not be fair to publish it yet, but I'd go ahead and have a rough draft ready to go...
