However, last season when DMC was trading Mantis for Dew with BBC, I brought it up to the board that maybe this was a situation that needed some reviewing. I felt that this would cause an even bigger disaster for DMC, and would ultimately be the final nail in the coffin. Of course, we ended up having to replace Nautilus, but would it have mattered if it was Mantis or Dew taking over? I don&#039;t think it would have. <br /><br />Pure give away trades are annoying to say the least. In the end of that case, all I could really do is speculate as to what was going to happen. It would not have been fair for me to step in. It turned out I was right about the whole thing, but that&#039;s just how things ended up.
