With Edler out I bet the Canucks have called the Flames about Russell.Russell played for Willie Desjardins when he was with the Medicine Hat Tigers and was named the WHL Player of the Year, while also capturing the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the WHL's Defenceman of the Year.The Canucks seem to have alot of interest in players that were successful under Willie such as Vey/Dorsett/Etem so i wouldnt be shocked if they went hard after Russell.What they would be willing to give up would be another story but i would think they would have alot more interest in Russell then Schultz.
