Yes there were many posters the previous summer pointing to his Norris votes etc. I feel relatively certain the Flames tried to move him but there were no takers. Who knows what they were asking and it might be that they were greedy. But my guess is they would have taken anything as long as no salary retained. Would love to know what the best offer was if indeed there were talks. Sometimes the moves you don't make, good or bad, are the important ones.
If we had traded him with no salary retained, I suspect Russell may have been extended.
