It's about expansion. The Oilers only have Nurse, Bear, and Jones eligible to expose, so this gives them a player they *shouldn't* mind losing. He'll have the minimum number of games played in a career and this season.

So I understand the Russell extension, I just don't necessarily agree with it.

Given his unique cap situation (low real dollars, high cap), I think you could have turned that into an asset from a low revenue cap floor team, while signing another defenseman who is just as capable (or moreso) to a 2-year deal. Koekkoek, Del Zotto being examples.
