This is noble, but Kris Russell can't be on this team. Would I rather have him than Wideman? Barely.

Hamilton's possession numbers with and without Russell go from terribad to bordering on elite.

He doesn't really QB a powerplay, and as great as he is using shotblocking to overcome a deficiency in size, I don't want someone who's that physically inferior killing penalties either. On a defense that already includes Gio, Brodie, Dougie, and Wideman, with Andersson and Kylington in the AHL, what does Kris Russell bring that the Flames defense does not already possess?
