Thread: Radulov takes his puck home

9.2 million per year for 4 years and they don't bench him for partying....

Alex Radulov Returns To Russia, Signs 4-Year Deal In KHL - SBNation.com

Not exactly news, turns out Poile kinda had a middling gamble, he probably wasn't ever coming back so at least he got a few more games out of him....and a benching and and excuse.

Good riddance to that floater.

9.2 million a year.. crazy. Imagine what Ovechkin would make there.

9.2 million? Actually makes sense. I'd have been more impressed if he took less money to be able to party while playing like Karalahti did.

Bringing Radulov back was one of the worst things the Preds did.

i couldn't agree more. if you followed my thread and paid close attention, that team went from one of the best in the league to one of the most wildly inconsistent right after he came back. it was like they were force feeding a new identity as the expense of the other, better established one.

Poile has made few mistakes there, but the Radulov one was THE bonehead move.

Yep, they lost their identity and chemistry. I don't think he really cared all too much about winning exemplified by his behavior against PHX. Too bad, because that may have been the Preds most realistic shot for a while.

don't be too surprised if you see Weber leave next year.

Good riddance, douchebag.
