I would rather the team get younger than re-sign guys that won't be part of the team when they are ready to contend. Kris Russell is, at best, a #4 guy. I like him, I think he's a great guy, but we don't need him. We need smaller cap hits on our back end. Ideally, guys like Hickey, Kylington and Andersson make the team over the next 3 years and we can allocate that $4m you want to spend on Russell to guys that will be part of the long term solution.
