Damn.
I see all these people hating on him in this thread, which leads me to believe those haters don't watch much hockey outside of Boston. Kris Russell is exactly the type of player the B's have been missing ever since Boychuk left. He would have more of positive impact on this team than keeping Ericsson would. Our D is terrible and having one of the top shot blockers, who can skate, hit, retrieve and distribute the puck out of the zone would go along way to helping it. The folks against him were probably the same people I saw clamouring on here for Chia to move Boychuk because we had his perfect replacement, Kevan Miller, waiting in the wings...
