You seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing.
Schlemko hasn't had his breakout season yet either, but he didn't play nearly as well as Russell did last year either. It's not even in the ball park. That's all I was saying. Two players that were on waivers before the Flames landed them in some way. One played consistently in our top 4, the other was a 6/7 defenceman.
