I don't think they thought Russell would be around especially at reasonable dollars so it is easy to say this is a audible from their original plan. We all know Treliving loves him some Russell so he would gladly take him back if it made sense for the team.
I also think the Flames do/did believe they could get an asset for Wideman at the deadline
