I feel the same way. I'm in this to win games. Not to fit mediocre players on the team because they have good cap hits. When Russell yet again coughs up the puck in the D zone because he couldn't get it out and the other team scores I'm not going to care about his cap hit and brush it off. I care about on ice performance and Russell's time has passed.
And this is coming from someone who was a huge Russellmania fan his entire time here.
