I think the difference between Rattie and Russel is Russel in a pinch can fill a 4th line role. He's decent defensively, can be on your PK, can forecheck a bit, and not kill you when he is on the ice. He won't score squat but for a couple of games, you can survive with him. Rattie is not good defensively, he can't be on your PK and doesn't bring much if he doesn't score which he doesn't do at the NHL level.

I don't really think that's true. There's not a lot to show that Rattie's much worse defensively than Russell, and Rattie's more of a threat to score. There's a reason one guy was in the AHL last year and one was in the NHL.
I'm not losing any sleep over Ty Rattie, but he's a better player than Patrick Russell - full-stop.
Russell has now played 6 NHL games at age 26, posting a solid 0-0-0 stats line. Given his age, he's not even a tweener - he's an AHLer.
