If the cap space is to go out and get a bonafided scoring winger or 2nd pairing dman, Iīm all for it. I canīt imagine they need cap space because they want to give Johnny 9-10M per. It would be terrible resource mgmt to use a pick in the first 3 rounds or a good prospect just to open up space for Russell.
If Johnny has no rights to claim 8M per year, what leverage does Russell have to demand anything more than 1M per season on a one year? The seasons starts in 5 days and heīs still unsigned. And why are they so averse to trying Wotherspoon or Kulak? Russell is on the market as insurance anyways, no one wants to sign him. I donīt get it.
