See, now if Russell isn't in Burke's long term plans (I hope he is) then this might have been a great opportunity to really maximize the return for him. Russell has really played well this season, and his smallish stature likely wouldn't be much of a detriment in Boston with massive D-men like Chara, Hamilton, Boychuk, and McQuaid.
This also doesn't help Iggy's quest for the Cup, so brutal all around really.
