With the Kane situation going on and see how it will play out, Chicago may have a way out of his contract with a moral clause How interesting

"Russo came back to Notre Dame after missing the second half of last season due to academic problems and has been a leader for a young Irish team all season, recently earning the right to wear the captain's 'C'. Russo is a solid all-around player, though he likely lacks size to be a big defensive presence at the pro level. He's added a more offensive dimension to his game this season, however, as one of the top-scoring defenseman in all of college hockey."

Article from Chicago area regarding Russo http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2015/6/2/8707385/could-blackhawks-target-soon-to-be-free-agent-notre-dame-defenseman-robbie-russo

So because he is from Michigan he automatically gets to cash in? I love Abby, he plays hard and is versatile, but I don't think he is worth 4 million unless he can string together. Few solid seasons. Hate to see another bad contract.... I just don't get the mentally on paying someone on their future potential instead of their previous track record.

Based on reading the articles Russo had to sit out due to academic issues and also needed learn to be an all around defenseman and he has? Or something on that order. You are right, it is free. Lashoff puzzles me, with most of our defense, can look stellar then lost for one season or small groups of games (individual players)

Low risk signing but remember 1st round picks don't mean much unless they pan out.

Let me expand, college of Notre Dame in similarities.... That is all

Lebda 2.0?

I am wondering how they will swing it if they can, with no money. I wonder if he would be a good fit here or not

Issue with looking at UFA in the future is their status can always change, but k see what you are saying

Saying he wouldn't be a good fit here and leaving it at that with no opinion or reasoning of why there is no flow to the content of some subjects around here. I thought you had more insight than that, apparently not or you do not feel like you want to share. But if you aren't then don't make a statement that won't encourage constructive debate and conversation I would think especially when you bring it up and when asked to add to it to bring thr conversation among more as I like to talk hockey and reasonings behind such statements are left out, no reason to make a post in the first place And once again, no school or grades were ever mentioned

Why wouldn't he be a good fit? Due to him being good friends with Ovie? Need more substance and reason to your post

Not every FA wants to come here and also thought him and Ovie were like bff?

Let him walk for that type of cash See ya

Really hope Jurco finds his game, with the talent coming up the pipeline it is do it or move on time

Good read, Kopitar... Have to agree, one of the best two way centers currently. Most recent playoffs and Stamkos having trouble producing at times brings question and he should adapt next time with more experience Good read, Kopitar...

Good that EA Sports is distancing themselves from him, smart move

Could really do without the buldge

Nope It is quoted for everyone to see.... Also not cool making light of a toxic spill harming the ecosystem. Would you laugh if someone painted a puppy that color?

Official scuba diver? Being your snorkel and flippers boys

No you didn't say odd color you admitted their jersey is ugly but not the ugliestno going back now

So you admit there is some level of ugliness then by your statement

Want some hot dog with that mustard

Recent article speculates they may sign cheap with cup contender of goes longer

Totally agree it is regression phase, all economies have been up and down.... I don't understand how the Yotes are still open for business.... Conferences are not even balanced out I really do hate water downed skill set, hockey, and this type of broken foundation hype
