2011
Russo was originally drafted by the Islanders as a 2011 fourth-round (95th overall) selection, but the Notre Dame opted for Detroit instead. While the defenseman posted an impressive 103 points (21 goals, 82 assists) over 204 games with AHL Grand Rapids, Russo couldn't getting anything going in the attacking zone at the top level with the Red Wings, as he failed to register a single goal or assist over a 19-game trial in 2016-17. Evidently not sold on his progress, the Wings traded Russo to the Coyotes in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round draft pick. It's fair to wonder why a team in dire need of puck-moving defensemen pawned off Russo, but one thing is for sure: he's a dice-roll in just about any fantasy format.
In two years at Notre Dame, Russo has nine goals and 29 assists. He could be a solid two-way defenseman if and when he decides to turn pro, but that could still be two years away.
Russo will play his sophomore year at Notre Dame this season and is still years away from playing in the NHL. If he does make it, it will be as a solid two-way defenseman.
The Isles' fourth-round pick of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Russo projects as a solid defenseman with some offensive upside. He is, however, years away from playing in the NHL.
