Dont enjoy taking negatively about a professional but this is addition by subtraction for the Oilers.

It's probably more about Tippett than Russell himself. He's fine as a 3rd/4th option guy with injuries on a contract you can fully bury. Could do worse. But, when your coach treats this kind of player like a son, constantly trying to find ways to get him into the lineup, it becomes a problem.
|
He’d be an alright 23/24th option, you mean?
But ya. His compete on the taxi squad really impressed Tipp... and others throughout the league so much that he decided to go back to Europe instead
One less Russell on this team is a good thing.

I was trying to be nice and have him 21st/22nd :) And that is keeping in mind how almost our entire bottom 6 was below replacement level this season.
