He's looking for Brodie money and that's just a bad idea for the Flames to consider.

I think the 5.5 is a joke. Don't see anyone giving him that. Anything under 4 and I would like him back.
I know it's apples to oranges but I kind of see Russell as a Frolik type player. And Frolik we probably overpaid half a million in order to get him.
