Russell was a GREAT trade. No matter what way you look at it. Blues fans I've heard from are kicking themselves a bit at that one.

Knight is yet to be determined. He hasn't played at the NHL level but is looking really solid at the AHL level. Second leading scorer and I think top in +/- and a good faceoff guy. You can't even really judge that trade until we see what he can do with the Flames but he's looking to be a great pickup for a 4th.

Colborne's been good. He may not be producing much and may be playing some top 6 minutes when that's probably not where he should be, but he's been noticeable and has great tenacity with the puck. He always seems to get it up the ice when he wants to. Really like colborne and I hope he can be a 3rd line guy for us in the future. Again, good trade. Rarely would a 5th even play in the NHL.
