I think Russell will be missed. I think he is a very solid top 4 defender. I just don't think the Flames can or should re-sign him to what he will probably command in the off-season. I am 100% ok trading him for picks, but I am sure he will be missed at least until someone steps up and takes his spot.
He has been really good of late - back to last year's form I would say. I was starting to think that last year was an aberration, but he is looking very much like last year's Russell.
