I am surprised so many people are writing off Russell. I thought he was one of the better D we had last year and he is still a relatively young guy. To me.. Russell was intentionally put on a different line from Brodie to even up the defence. If we went with Brodie/Russell when Gio went down, we would have a much bigger hole on the 2 D pairing. I don't mind Russell/Hamilton as the second pairing and you put Wideman on the third pair so he has more gas and can be more of a PP specialist.
