and again...
Well let's see... in the playoffs recently...
Russell had 4 pts in 13 games and was +2 playing 22 minutes a night.
Phaneuf had 5 pts in 19 games and was -3 playing 23 minutes a night.
Russell is 2 years younger and likely $3 million cheaper as well.
I know which one I'd want on my team for the next 4 years if I had the choice.
Look at their regular season 5 on 5 relative performance compared to their teammates over the last 3 years... it's not even close.
Russell is head and shoulders above Phaneuf.
Younger, cheaper, better.
