This did not happen in the episode, as Dallas failed in the second round to the St. Louis Blues . After the Stars did not subsequently renew the defender's contract, the Edmonton Oilers secured the services of the Canadian a few days before the start of the 2016/17 game year . After a season, Russell signed a new four-year contract in Edmonton that should earn him an average annual salary of $ 4 million.
