Re: [rumour] Avalanche looking at bringing Radulov back to NHL?
I think Radulov and Trotz were like oil and water
Looking at the way Trotz handled Kuznetsov I would conclude that this is more about Trotz`s style than younger Russian players with high skill levels
If Roy can get Radulov to return to the NHL I think he explodes to the upside and am very happy to admit my bias in this regard
Highly talented players are sometimes cast as hard to handle, look no farther than Phil Kessel but without a doubt Phil can bury the puck. So can Radulov
The Avalanche will be a very exciting team to watch if they can find a way to bring Rads into the fold
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
