He was never the best D. TJ Brodie did much, much more with less then Russell did.
Like I said before, Russell blocked an absurb amount of shots last season, and was generally good with his breakout passes, but he was horrendously out shot whenever he was on the ice, and generally looked overwhelmed when the pressure started to turn up.
He would be the ideal 3rd pairing D that can fill in on a second pairing when theres an injury. Not a second pairing filling in on the first. That's a recipe for disaster.
