Theophany 110 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 Yeah, I forsee Helm taking over years down the road after Zata is ready to give up the C. (That is, of course, after Lids gives up the C to Zata.) He may not ever be Stevie Y or Mr Perfect, but he's already been fantastic for the team, and 10 years down the road, I can definitely see him as a leader on this team.
