Hate his current contract. Love the 1 year extension. Quality 3rd pairing that brings intangibles that WIN in the playoffs. We have gotten to far into analytics and numbers which clouds true value of a player to a team. When we let Mark Hendricks go after the playoff run, it was a mistake. He brought a lot to this team that non of us overbearing, mom's basement couch GM's could even metabolize. The more I read twitter and this site, the more I realize the brutal state of human race and the overflowing realm of negativity. Just last week I was listening to NHL radio and an Oiler fan from Loyd called in and crushed the moves of Turris and Barri and said Holland had a piss poor offseason. The host continued the convo by saying the Oilers franchise was in a state of dissaray and a putrid mess. I was baffled. Anyway, my rant for the night. I am optimistic of the state of the franchise and look forward to seeing them play every other night in 2021.

I’m not going to disagree that the Internet leans heavily to the negative side but Russell better be bringing some incredible intangibles to the rink. Looking at his playoffs he added no offence, while kicking three pucks into his own net. He was negative in almost every advanced stats category as well. And even if he had done well this playoffs, there’s no guarantee he won’t decline (further) by the end of next season.
We can debate the value of shot blocking but if that’s the extent of his benefits I would’ve taken Benning.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
