That's fair, but again, if that were the case the overages are only a concern the following year if they prevent any moves from being made that the team would really like to make. I'm sure the risk as you point out isn't 0, but I'm guessing potentially overpaying Russell for a year has a pretty low risk of coming back and biting the Oilers in the butt, versus the improvement he'll represent on the backend and in team culture.
