Not really sure that's an accurate representation of what happened last summer. From reading between the lines I think he waited and turned down offers hoping the Flames would be able to move someone and make room for his salary. They couldn't and thus he kind of had to take a last minute offer. Seems pretty obvious living in Alberta is a pretty big thing for Russel.
That's what I think happened, not sure how we can know for sure.
