The Montreal Canadiens have a pretty good contingent of NHL-ready defensemen to roll with when things get underway in October. But Kris Russell, the last higher-profile free agent blueliner remaining on the market is still floating around unsigned. Would it possibly be smart for the Tricolore to pick him up and add to their depth on the blue line?
Well, absolutely not my friends.
Russell was with the Flames last season until he was moved to the Stars at the trade deadline. For the regular season he put up four goals and 15 assists between the two clubs, and added four helpers for the Stars in the playoffs.
