Blocking shots is like killing rats. Doing it is preferable to not, but if you’re doing it all the time it suggests you have bigger problems

My argument would be that the "bigger problems" with Russell is the fact that his partner often gets himself caught up-ice, forcing Russell to stay at home more. If anything, Russell should be the more offensive of any D-pairing, but he's had to fill the defensive role more because Wideman is naturally offensive-minded.
While everyone on the team's had struggles to some extent so far this season, I still think Russell's more valuable to this team than Wideman.
