The right offer comes along and you pull the trigger. By right offer I mean a 3rd rounder or higher equivalence.

What ??? You would move Russell for a lottery ticket with a 25% chance, or less, of playing in the NHL ??
Russell is the perfect guy to sign to a 2 year contract at a reasonable rate (2.5). HE gets a chance to log big minutes and up his value, while the Flames get a chance to see if he keeps developing. THat is worth way more than a 3rd rounder.
