Uhhh yes we can tell you that, because it's most likely the truth.
People seem to overrate how well our minor league defensemen would replace our legit NHL defensemen. I don't see anyone on the farm team that can play top 4 defense in the NHL next year and Russell is capable of doing just that.
So no, a green prospect most likely cannot do the same as Russell or better.
