Beyond that for next year we would have:
Gio- 6.75
Brodie- 4.65
Hamilton- 5.75
Wideman- 5.25
Russell- 4
Smid- 3.5
Engelland- 2.9
That is $33 million dollars in our defense which is way too much (when you consider how they have played this year its insanely too much).

Smid, Engelland and Wideman will be gone soon enough but the last thing we need is to turn Russell's next contract into another contract like that. Bring on the kids!
