Not the worst news. I don't hate Russell like some do and on a reasonable contract he can play as a 4/5. When discussing his contract demands last season it was a no brainer to trade him as a $5.5M per deal and long term would become an Andy Macdonald/Wade Redden contract before the ink dried.

I am also not surprised that Russell would choose Calgary over any other team if he is signing a short term lower dollar deal.
