great trade, but I still want to see a few more names moved off our roster.

Imagine if the price of oil didn't tank what Russell would have got.

Not unless he takes a paycut.

Aside Kevin, Pakki should be a good nickname, too, as it is means a d-man in the Finnish spoken language.

Chicago is good but this isn't basketball, playoffs are tough in the NHL and favorites lose all the time

I like Loubo, but that was terribly uncomfortable in the intro.
FFS, talk about the trade...we all knew Russell was going...all of us. he acts like it was a surprise.
There still remains some lingering feelings from them both.
Anyways, I'm happy with the trade...except i flip on the tv and sportsnet is interviewing messier and debrusk, and i have no idea what tsn was doing.
good trade.

A paycut from his very much rumored ask? Or a paycut from the 2.6M that he actually makes right now. Because asking for a paycut from 2.6M is completely unrealistic.

Can we throw in Wideman or Raymond with 50% salary retained?

Russell was very bad on the Flames, but he will certainly benefit under a different system.
We should not be surprised if his possession numbers improve on a better team with less responsibility.
Though, I really don't like the Stars blue line to begin with.

I hope, but something tells me Engelland will be in the lineup ahead of at least a couple of those guys.

Russell is the type of player who illustrates the flaws with some of these stats.

But still. Treliving and Burke: great trading tandem, or greatest trading tandem?

The condition isn't to make it to the Finals, it's to make it to the Conference Finals.
