Good player that will cash in come Ufa time, solid discretion on the part of the flames to part with the asset and get 3 solid pieces back.
Not surprised he's done well so far in Dallas, he has the ability to step up his game no doubt and good on him.

I think this deal is a great example of how good of a GM Treliving is. Many of the fans on CP were ready to dump Russell for a 4th rounder if we were lucky.
BT knew what he was trading and wasn't willing to just take whatever he could get. Infact, he got exactly what he thought Russell was in terms of what he could contribute to another team and stuck to his guns.
