And 3 years on those terms are fine, especially considering our cap situation, it will take a while to grow, and we are also a team that can burry those contract 2 years from now if need be, so I'm not even sure what the worry is with these, regardless on the opinions of the players. These contracts aren't hurting us now, and have little to no ability to do so over the next 3 years so who cares?

There's no guarantee that two other young guys in our system will do any better that Englland & Smid have done as the 3rd pairing D.
However, Engelland & Smid have been responsible for being on the ice for most goals against per 60 min. That's how they are costing the team. I get the fact that hockey is a team game and they aren't the only ones responsible for the goals against but still.
