The Kris Russell Sweepstakes Continue - UPDATE: Oilers offer 1-year deal?
Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal
Have it from a very reliable source that #Oilers are talking with UFA Defenceman Kris Russell on a short term deal.
News UpdateDustin Nielson @nielsonTSN1260 3m3 minutes ago
I've been told that the Oilers have offered a one year deal to Russell. May have another update later today. Let's see where this goes.

Hope not.
He's an NHL-calibre defenceman, and the fewer of those on the Oilers, the better.

Who cares... it's news and that's it. I have had my words against the OP but surely, we all have better things to do than fight each other.

It'll just be another example of them taking a 2nd pairing guy and force feeding him a full season of top minutes.

Don't like it. Adding Russell will make the oilers better.

Taking a while to get to 5000

We've had reliable sources placing him with Toronto and then Carolina which was to be announced after his wedding. Heck some people even think he's destined to return to Calgary. Point being, I'll believe it when he signs somewhere.

Oilers reached out to Kris Russell a couple of days ago. Expect the two sides to start talking numbers/term etc as early as tomorrow.

The oilers don't play good team defence, which makes Russel's shot blocking - give up the puck - blocking game even worse.

Agreed. He is good at blocking shots and the oilers are always in their own zone. Also great at break out passes, and they have a few weapons that I don't want to see getting breakaway chances.

Darn. He makes them better, albeit not a player I want back on our team.

I'll reserve judgement. Russell at $2.5mil is a lot better than Russell at $4mil.
