Loved when I saw what we got in Kris when we acquired him from St. Louis, because I believed it was a huge addition by subtraction getting rid of the underwhelming play of Jay Bouwmeester. Russell was so engaged and balls to the wall in comparison. Loved it.

What a warrior Russell was for the Flames. You know he played through injuries that would keep lesser men off the ice. He was always willing to play, it was the doctors and coaching staff that would have to tell him he wasn't.

Thanks Kris, you WILL be missed. Good luck to you in Dallas!
