This is a veteran guy who has been in the business a long time and knew it was coming for weeks. But some are judging a 24 year old who had no idea this would happen?

Linky?
I'm not surprised. I think most of us are disappointed that Russell is gone.
Russell is a difficult player because he appeals to fans because hes always out there giving his all, but after a while you realize that 'his all' isnt all that good. It sure as hell isnt $5.5M/6 good.
Russell's career and financial earnings window and the Flames' window dont mesh.
So I wish the best to him.
So long Russell and thanks for all the Jokipakka and the picks!
