A lot of skeptics, critics, and analytics experts claim that Dallas' trade for Kris Russell was terrible. Jim Nill gave up a lot, but perhaps Nill has earned the benefit of the doubt.
Fine, fine. Get on with it. Get on with all of the vitriol, thrown tacos, and accusations about whether or not I collect a paycheck from the Dallas Stars. Done? Cool.
What could I possibly say to convince the many skeptics that trading for Kris Russell for a 2nd that becomes a 1st if Dallas makes the Conference Finals, Brett Pollock, and Jyrki Jokipakka was in any way worth it despite every measurable statistic saying otherwise?
