I can live with a defence corps of:

Giordano - Brodie
Smid - Wideman
Russell - Engelland

Bottom 2 pairings each have one mobile guy and one anchor. Significantly tougher now, replacing Butler with Engelland. Much better 6th D man than O'Brien. If Wideman has a healthy season he could be in line for a rebound in form. Plus, Gio & Brodie are going to hog all the minutes anyway.

I like it. We're not in cap hell, so who cares if this guy is earning the best pay of his life? The media can eat a bowl of dicks.
