Right, but that's what Leury/Harrison have been providing this year and most of their career Archived Message Posted by UofIL6 on April 25, 2022, 9:31:40, in reply to "You don’t want replacement level utility" More recently with Harrison Previous Message Replacement level utility is bad. Replacement level is literally zero. That is a giant hole on your roster. Now not paying for replacement is better than paying for it but you have to make an attempt to not have a replacement level on your team when you’re actually trying to compete.
