Almost exactly one year ago (Feb. 29, 2016, to be exact, a day that does not exist this year) the Calgary Flames finally traded Kris Russell. The unexpectedly controversial defenceman (seriously, the poor guy has inadvertently started more Twitter wars than can be counted merely by existing) had played his final game as a Flame, and was off to Dallas to help them with their playoff push.
In return, the Flames got Jyrki Jokipakka, Brett Pollock, and a second round pick. That pick turned into Dillon Dube, who we kinda like. Pollock, meanwhile, is just over half a point-per-game in the ECHL.
