I'm not sure what else Nakladal could've done to secure another chance. He played solid during his entire stint, wasn't a liability in his own zone, and showed some good promise in the offensive zone. Sure he made a mistake or two along the way, but nothing unexpected from a depth defenseman, or that I haven't seen a guy like Russell make dozens of times.

I'd much rather have him back than Russell.
