If you sign Russell for too much $ there's too much pressure to play him and the competition is weakened.

Absolutely. Paying Russell $3M for a 5/6 role is unacceptable. There's got to be cheaper options out there.
My point was simply that we can't take the Edmonton approach and leave spots wide open for our prospects; they need to earn the job.
