Part of me is leery as I don't want to upset the apple cart on what I think would be a solid top four.
Giordano - Brodie
Jokkipakka - Hamilton
is so interesting to me.
could they demote the old 2nd pairing to a third pairing and go with Russell/Wideman again?
Russell Hamilton didn't seem to be a feasible pair.

Engellend actually fills a need for toughness on the team playing in the pacific where the Kings, Ducks, and now the Oilers have pretty heavy forwards groups. I am also far from convinced that Jokipakka is a top 4 Dman. Perhaps he is but hopefully of Russell is brought back it is on a short term deal that won't break the bank if he is on the third pair
