Even without looking at the underlying numbers, I think it's fair to say this year's team is missing a top-6 winger. Adding one would give this team a really balanced/deep lineup. Candidates for filling the role internally are Colborne and Raymond, IMO.
Just looking at the salary structure of the team going forward, I'd hope that Wideman would go before Russell.
Balancing this year's needs vs. medium to long term needs will be a good challenge for Treliving as the season unfolds.
