I got a text from a buddy saying this and hadnt seen any news yet and thought he was kidding. No way it could be possible.
All I can do is laugh TBH. It just seems like such a useless thing to do.
- Signed for cheap? So what, by next season his salary should be zero.
- need players to expose for the expansion? That is not a problem to solve now by signing a player that is borderline useless now and will be by next year
- if he is in the top 6 in 21/21 the Oilers will not be a playoff team. Not simply because of Russell but it means that no one passed him.
- I doubt it will have any real effect on ANYTHING as he wont be in the top 6 next year, he wont be taken by the Kraken, he will sit in the pressbox telling war stories of the old days blocking shots.
Anyone defending this move that isnt on the Oilers payroll has lost all sense of objectivity. There is no upside to this in any scenario.

There is a weird thing happening where people are talking as if Russell is making 1.25M this coming season. Seem to forget he's gonna play a big part in wasting cap space this year that will pretty much guarantee another season of having a shallow roster with his 4M cap hit.
I guess it is kind of a unique situation to be extending a 6/7 D a year early.
