Opmac Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Why are people happy with this? Radulov plays two seasons with the team. BOLTS to make money in the KHL, and now that he's at the tail end of his contract (And the team is poised to make a run in the playoffs) NOW he decides to play? This doesn't bother anyone? What if Gillis pulled off a trade with Columbus and the Canucks drafted Yakopov? Would you be happy after his first season, he bolts to the KHL? Basically what the NHL/KHL are saying is you can disregard your entry level contract, and just wait until you're close to being an RFA and make $2-4 Million in the KHL per season, and still come back with no penalty in time for your NHL team to make a Stanley Cup run. Serious loophole that needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22sedins33 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 In my opinion they shouldn't let him play in the playoffs. It should be treated similar to the Turco signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlas=d Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 i can see this happening and helping the preds a lot and then him being traded at the draft. the preds already are having contract problems with suter and weber adding radulov to that mix puts them way over the top; plus they cant really risk radulov bolting again. I can see washington trading for him, him and ovechkin would be a good combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PredsFanFromLa Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 a few gm's aren't happy about radulov's potential return: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2012/03/13/sp-nhl-radulov-predators-gm-meetings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Either way, Nashville will probably have to go through a gritty Detroit team and then a grinding St. Louis team before playing us. They still won't have it easy even with Radulov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Very unfair in my opinion. He should be punished and serve a suspension if he wants to return after bolting. But hey I feel he shouldnt be allowed back after the trade deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 He wasn't all that noticable in the Olympics. A goal and an assist while Russia got trounced early. Has he improved since then? Nashville's fear should be that going this route may emulate Washington's direction rather than Detroit's. But i guess we'll see. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Architect Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Radulov could add a bit more scoring, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. There are a LOT of good teams in the west (and the NHL), and once the playoffs start, its a whole new game. May the best team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soshified Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The way I see it is #1 STL beats #8 SJS/CGY, #2 VAN beats #7 PHX, #6 CHI beats #3 DAL and the #4 DET vs #5 NAS is a toss up. After playoff re-seeding it'd be #1 STL vs #6 CHI, #2 VAN vs the winner of NAS/DET... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You've gotta think that Radulov would be the one guy on Nashville who would have the green light to go at all times. You adjust your system to fit guys like that. Trotz on Radulov: He won't "prepare" - obviously, meaning that when and if he gets Radulov, he will prepare for and adjust his system so that it maximizes Radulov's skillset. Trotz had to play his defensive system because he has no offensive star - but with Radulov? I'm sure he'll keep his defensive system, but give Radulov every chance to produce.
