Russell is snake-bit fer sure.. But he's not the guy I'd take off the ice to put Benson on. Sorry, that guy has to be Jujar. Russell is a defensive forward, and a good one. His +/- is -5. With no goals and only 4 assists. Jujar is -19, w/ 8 pts. Patrick Russell GP G A P +/- PIM TOI GF% DFF% Rel DFF% CF% Rel CF% Edmonton Oilers 34 0 4 4 -5 10 365 38.10 51.20 1.20 45.60 -3.20 0.66 And that's about as much of a stats guy out of me that you're ever gonna see !! He passes my eye-test. It's only a matter of time until he puts another in the net. He had one, but it was called back. He never quits; he's a "give 'er ". Watch him closely tonight.... he's not a top 6, but he is a good defensive hockey player; and he gives our team balance in that regard. Okay... I'm done. I'm awaiting on all the posts that will inevitably land on the back of this one.... it always seems to happen. Have at 'er .

Maybe it is something to do with the last name, not much he does overly well but sure does try hard!

I dont have much to say about P. Russell. I almost never notice him. That can be a good thing, I would rather that than a forward who is often noticed for all the wrong reasons It also means he is likely replaceable.

I am sure Benson will get into some games soon and maybe like Yamo he will grab a spot and keep it. I know we are all ready for him to replace Khaira or Russell but there is often value to watching a game or two from up top before jumping into the fire.
