Say what you like about Russell's quality, but I've always thought he seemed like a decent honest bloke. Disappointed he seemed to get greedy and rejected the Leafs offer. I know he probably saw what other dmen signed and wanted something similar, but if a deal like that isn't on the table, seems silly to just sit and wait, just expecting a huge offer to drop in your lap.
Be very interesting to see where he ends up now.
