Put him back with Klef. They've always been great together. Bear and Nurse are good together. And Benning is much more suited as a 3rd pairing. Too much ice time and too hard of competition and he's a disaster. Russell imo is a top 4 defender but he stabilizes Benning. Benning is a 5th Dman at best. Having a 4th and a 5th as your 5th and your 6th is a good thing.

Maybe the injury was a blessing in disguise because if he didn’t get injured we probably wouldn’t have bear on the team right now
What's on his hat looks dirty
Yes
Nurse-Bear
Klefbom-Larsson
Russel-Benning
(Manning)
Let Persson get some work in at the AHL level. I think he can do it, but just not yet.
