Probably be 1 x 4.5M or 2 x 3.5M
But ya, he'd probably be okay with that. I think he wishes his time in Dallas went better so a one year deal might benefit him.

Please no. The guy isn't very good at ice hockey. I wouldn't mind him for one year until NJ can find a LD, but anything multi year would suck

Not bad
But I would swap Moore and merrill
Merrill won't be ready for camp and will need to knock the rust off

Wouldn't count the Panthers out of the running to sign Kris Russell.
If Florida signs Kris Russell.
Michael Matheson should end up back in the AHL with Springfield this season for more development time and Kris Russell would be a better option as a 6th defensemen over Jakub Kindl or (Adam Pardy PTO)
If Florida could get Russell on a cheap 1 year contract it would go along way to solidifying Florida's defense as Russell is a good shot blocker and is still a decent puck mover.
New Jersey would also be a good option for Russell as New Jersey is kinda thin at the defensive position at this time. Russell also kinda reminds me of another former Devil and Flame D Tommy Albelin.

I liked Russell, and his best hockey was in Calgary, but how is he linked with us? We have to sign our star player, and already have Engelland, Smid and Wideman clogging up the d in spots where ideally Russell would fit.
I'm thinking one of two possibilities.
1. Smid is basically done.
2. Wideman will be bought out? Or has that window closed?

Smid will probably go on injured reserve. Buyout period is done.
Currently we have (in no order)
Gio
Brodie
Hamilton
Joki
Wideman
Engelland
Kulak
Wotherspoon
And I think I'm forgetting someone. But all looking for roster spots.

This is not true at all. He's a solid defensman who's one of the best shot blockers in the league. He can put up 25 to 30 points year. The only reason he hasnt been signed is his small size and his style of play. If he was 2 inches taller and 15 pounds heavier and the exact same player he would of signed a 4 year 4 million dollar contract the first day of free agency. If he signed with us he'd be our third best defensman after Greene and Severson easily.

We're the Devils we could take six no name defensman and be top 5 in goals agaisnt. But seriously its not Larsson to Russell. Severson is taking larssons spot. Lovejoy is taking seversons. And santini is more than ready to be an nhl player, but please continue to comment on a team you know nothng about. Plus we still have Andy Greene. So don't you worry about us.

Yeah but I'm talking about when everyone is healthy. Merrills better he actually has hockey sense and doesn't handle the puck like its a grenade. Plus he has room to grow as a player. Moore is what he is.
Not really. Severson or Lovejoy are likely replacing Larsson on the top pairing (which is still not a great trade off). Russell would be more like Schlemko's replacement.

I don't get this. He'd be our third best defensman after Greene and Severson. Maybe tied with Lovejoy.

Trade you!
Possibly but he is not significantly better than Lovejoy or Moore. I'm not convinced he is a better option than Lovejoy. Russel is a bottom pairing Dman. We have more than enough of those.

Don't kid yourself. Russell is a #4 guy. If the flames can ship out some salary I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

He's going to be exposed here where we can't help insulate him the way a strong defense like Calgary would.
