Throw in a 2014 2nd rounder that probably has similar upside to a young Granlund (but bigger)
Then add in a 2nd round pick (many thought that is all Russell would return) that has a chance of becoming a 1st.
Beauty!

Curious why you think he will play with Hamilton as #4 dman? I would expect nakladal or Witherspoon will get a look at filling that spot for the rest of the year and he will slide into our 3 pairing with wideman.
