My 2 cents:

1) He's playing like he's hurt right now, which is consistent with his getting maintenance days off. Not the best time to trade him.

2) He was good buddies with Glencross. Rightly or wrongly Glencross feels like he left a lot of $$$ on the table and ended up getting traded anyways. I'm sure that he's had that discussion with Russell at some point.

3) This is Russell's only shot at making big $$$ to set up his family for life.

4) I suspect Russell will not give a home town discount.
