Probably good. Suttles not all bad and has pushed the company in direction of efficient operations and continuous improvement.  But his timing has been awful and the shares can never recover to where they were before under his watch. Might as well let someone else step in and see where he (in this case) can lead them from here as a new starting point. I also have always liked Brendan

I'm okay with hedging up to 50% of liquids production.  It saved their azzzzes big time last year. And hedges were necessary when taking on new debt from the NFX acquisition. Hopefully they'll ease back on natgas hedges though - those run close to 100%. Agree about asset transaction timing... right assets at the wrong times. I certainly won't any shed tears the loss of Suttles
