radulov

Well, locoman and others, I'm sorry to say this was all much ado about nothing from this Fang_Finger dude. He just wanted to attract people to his new site. In the end, he did in fact "interview" Jay Grossman, Radulov's agent, by calling into a radio show he was on and asking him a bunch of questions regarding Radulov. Grossman's answers were ultra-non-committal and certainly nothing to suggest he will be in the NHL anytime soon, even next year. Sorry guys, I just dropped Radulov as it doesn't look like anything interesting is coming out of it, not for now at least.

I want to believe! Would he enter the line-up as a top 6 automatically?

Ya, read that too. I was pretty pissed until I read that Fanger profiles himself as a "young preds blogger" so he is probably like 13 years old. The content of the interview suggests that he was being patted on the head by Grossman and given a nice lolipop afterwards.

I still think Rads is coming back fo sho next year, with a 10% chance of this year.

Either way, he is staying on the roster

Oh man, there is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that whatever team he comes back to, but ESPECIALLY the Preds, that he is not only top 6 but probably top line. This guy has destroyed the KHL, which is actually a defense-oriented league and not easy to score.

The one thing that was somewhat interesting, was that Grossman remarked that Rad's is a much improved player compared to when he left.

This may be a reach, but it seems plausible that they would let him burn his entry contract this season, as he is clearly worth more than 800K.

Pulling at straws, but oh well.

From today's news. Rads says he has an out clause and is open to all possibilities.

Keep hope alive...

I can't wait for this dude, so his name can come out of the red in my sig.

Wow. I'd chance Rads 60/40 return over your bench guys for sure. He'll be back.

Adding more fuel to the fire, KHL says Radulov has one more year on contract in Russia.

Rads: " I'm 26 years old, i have won everything by this side of the pond ( Gagarian Cup, World Championships, MVP KHL play-offs, etc) of but to be honest i often think that i don't have such a glorious trophy in my collection - Stanley Cup. I was 2 times in a first roud of SC play-offs and both times we lost. It's not good."

Sounds like Rads has unfinished business that bothers him

If this happens I will be so souped.

And even more fuel to the fire...

That is intriguing, indeed. I'd welcome his return.

This guy is like a lottery ticket for most of us. I picked him up a month+ ago in my keeper league because I was out of the championship mix so I could waste a bench spot on him. If he does come back I will welcome it. If he doesn't whatever it literally cost me nothing. I have almost all but secured the number 1 pick for next so I should be adding Yakupov to an already nice group of 9 keepers. I would love Radulov to be my 10th but if not I will find one between Chris Stewart, Mike Smith and a few others. But as I said the guy is the ultimate lottery ticket!!!

I hope he doesn't come back this year so that he goes back into our draft next year, otherwise the #1 waiver is going to snag him (That's not me)
