This.
I don't see how anyone could want Radulov to stay based on what we know about him. Poile confirmed in his interview today that he wasn't willing to change himself on or off the ice. I've always noticed that Rads takes long shifts, and DP mentioned that and said it pissed off his teammates. He said he's "too high-maitenance for the Predators". I don't care how good a player is, if he's not fully committed and has a bad effect on the locker room, he should probably leave. Especially with the way the Predators are built.
But it does suck to have our highest-potential forward ever not work out. What could've been...
