My personal guess is that Russell may feasibly sign for 3-4 mil with us (He makes 2.6 now, he's not going to be lower or sign for the same amount IMO) but it may come with things like NMC and NTC. I'd imagine Treliving wouldn't want to give him more than 3-4 years either on a contract like that. Essentially another Raymond or Smid or Engelland money and term contract.

For other teams, I'm imagining a 4-5 mil contract signed at around 3-5 years.
