There are no playoff contenders in the west that Russell matches up well against. Vancouver is not making the playoffs this year.

Well if you've been following the rumours and CP threads this deadline, apparently many NHL scouts and GMs disagree with you.
You can cherry pick 5 games from last year's playoffs when Russell was beat up and playing over his head due to Gio being out, if you think that helps your argument. The point stands that there's apparently a ton of interest in Russell and the fact that "the flames have no leverage on him because of the cap" means dick all.
