So I think calling Russell our #3 doesn't give Wideman the credit he deserves. In reality, we have an awesome 2nd pairing that would be the first pairing on a bunch of teams.
What we don't have is much depth beyond our top 2 pairings.
I think we have:
#1 Gio
#2 Brodie
#3 Russell
#3 Wideman
#4 -
#5 -
#6 Engelland
#6 Smid whose injuries have killed his year
#7 Diaz
#7 Schlemko
#8 Potter

I can agree with that. Russell and Wideman as a pairing has stepped it up, how about that
?
