DeSmith, Johnson ($1,500,000 retained) for Russell
Someone posted a trade like this last week and it is just as bad this week.
Fists, even if you think that Johnson needs sweetener to be traded, DeSmith is more than enough alone, no retention necessary. Then, if you are forcing Pittsburgh to take Russell and his negative value, Edmonton needs to add.
Something more along the lines of DeSmith, Johnson for Russel, 3rd.
However, the Pittsburgh coaching staff actually likes Johnson so he is not going anywhere.
