Yup, I agree. The more I look at my spreadsheet, the writing is on the wall that Hudler and Russell are gone after this season. The only way we keep Russell is if we can trade off Wideman.

But....Hudler, Jones, Russell, and Hiller = $15M coming off the books. If you could thrown Widemand and Raymond onto that pile, too, that would be another $8M.

...Plenty of room to sign Mony and Johnny long term.

I think the next step in the D development is for Russell, Wideman, and Engellend to be slowly phased out for Morrison, Hickey, Anderssen, and Kylington. That will happen over the next 2-3 seasons.
