I don't know.. just a thought.

Russell is a 4-5 defensemen, 2nd rounders are probably under 20% successful, when they are they are depth players. Drouin's ceiling is huge, very skilled - he isn'g going for a second, 4-5 rental dman and a middling prospect.
Drouin will get an A level prospect and 1st round pick (15 to 25) or a B prospect and 1st rounder (5 to 15). Alternatively a bonafide NHLer (top 6 forward) or a top 4 dman - both of which are under good medium term (2 to 4 yrs) cap friendly contracts and a B/C prospect.
