In case anyone has not noticed, allow myself to make the situation known:   The Buffalo Bandits are practically flipping their entire roster. They’ve made enough transactions in the past two offseasons to equal approximately half their roster, at the least.   In November of 2012, they collected Aaron Wilson from the Edmonton Rush.
