He'll be RFA after this year, so it's not really a bind on the Preds unless they really want to keep him and not match offers, which won't be outrageous since he can go right back to the KHL if he wants to and has that kind of "history." I'm sure they look at it as rather him now when they are a contender to go deep than at another time when they may not be this primed.

Why?

They're reporting that part of the condition of Radulov going to Nashville is that he return to the KHL for next season.
Fire0nice228 wrote:Yeah, he doesnt HAVE to go back to KHL.. If he comes over here, wins the cup, and then goes right back over that'd be pretty freakin lame on his part.
As far as him being RFA, I believe a team will throw money at him and Nashville will have to make a decision. Radulov is about the money, and is a good player, I think someone will go after him. Hes the perfect guy to throw an offer sheet at. If he signs it, you know he wants to play in your city and likes the money, if he doesnt, no harm done in trying.

Radulov kind of looks like Viktor Krum (of Harry Potter Quidditch fame).

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the Predators for welcoming him back. I am sure if he was property of the Penguins I would be very happy to add him to the roster, but I am just a little shocked that the league didn't discipline him for his departure in the first place (mandatory suspension for the first few games, make him re-enter through waivers, fines, whatever). Maybe it's just me, but I believe it sets a very bad example.

Suspension doesn't work because then you're telling a player that abandoned his team that he's not welcome back with open arms (when you do, in fact, want that player back as he has an active contract in this league), waivers doesn't make any sense at all...
The fact of the matter is, he's been Predator property the entire time, he's under contract and he wants to come back...who are you penalizing, for what, and how much...?

Mongoose87 wrote:What's the difference between what Radulov did and a player deciding they want to be a plumber for three years, then coming back? There is none. All of Radulov's NHL consequences will be in the form of the reduced money teams will be willing to spend on a guy with no loyalty.
