Probably not anyone, maybe one of Wotherspoon, Kulak or Culkin. Russell could be gone regardless of depth though, that's the point. His price point, especially if he hits UFA status will get inflated and disrupt the Flames cap IMO.
Treliving obviously has a price he thinks can work, but if it doesn't trade him before losing him for nothing. The Flames aren't in the position to be keeping valuable trading chips yet.
