Guys watch the video again right bhind radulov is a water bottle and a towel the bottle keeps hitting his back while he rocks back and forth. So he tries to elbow it out of frustration, but the motion of elbowing with the stick in his hand sends the blade into the coaches neck. It was an accident
they should do a 3 way trade with the Preds, Caps, and KHL. send Semin home to Russia where he belongs. Caps send a 1st round pick to Nashville. the KHL sends Radulov to Washington.

Would take a lot more than a low ti mid first to get radulov
VERY good article from David Boclair about the Predators, Radulov, and where each stands. It sure doesn't sound like David Poile and Barry Trotz have an ill will, nor have they written him off

It seems they don't really know if he'll come back....but they sure as poop would welcome him onto the team....can't blame them, he'd be a massive help in any playoff run.
And, Poile and Trotz said they think he is the 1st player to not honour his contract, but he is at least the 2nd (Yashin was the 1st back in the early 90's with Ottawa)
But I will put it out there. If he comes back this season in time for the playoffs, whould this count as the final year of his ELC?
(and no, I am not trying to get him traded....I am honestly curious)

It would, but he'll be RFA at the end of that contract, not UFA. I think that may be the "bone" they could toss Radulov.
"yes, you have to come back and play for a million bucks...but do it for a few weeks of regular season, burn that year, and we'll negotiate a big new deal for you this summer."
I doubt it. the Preds don't have him now and haven't had him in a few years. something is better then nothing.
a first round selection likely will not help the team for several years. Why trade Radulov's rights, something that is not helping the team right now, for a draft pick that is, at very best, less likely to play in the NHL for another few years? Rads is more valuable since he is a known quantity. Nashville says no thanks.
And before anyone says, "you wont get anything more", fine. But he isn't being shopped so what does it matter?

if that is the case he'd likely want something like 4M over a 3yr deal
I think anything at or below $5m/yr is going to be fine for Nashville, but the club is going to be wise to try to get the length of the contract as short as possible. For Radulov's camp it could go either way. Shorter terms could mean an even bigger payday in a year or two if he produces. If he does not produce his contract will go down, and he will have really hurt his ability to continue earning big money in the NHL, especially considering he is currently in his prime years.
At any rate, if Nashville is serious about spending to the cap next year, they lock up Suter and Weber at $7m/yr each, and the cap stays the same or rises, the team will have somewhere in the neighborhood of $7m+ to spend after raises are given to those who deserve them (Wilson, Tootoo, perhaps SK, etc). Moves at the deadline will obviously affect that figure depending on if the player(s) coming in are pending UFAs or not.
