Eklund so take it with a grain of salt, but it`s certainly possible. Radulov might be coming back before the POs. Doesn`t even have to go through waivers. Now that would be interesting. Ufa got knocked out, but their official season ends 30/4. If Poile can convince their management, who knows. Radulov wants to get out.
I don't think I'd let him on a team doing so well. All things considered though, he is a great talent and would make them an even bigger offensive threat.

Whadda ya know - Mike Green suspended only 3 games. Look for my new show "Proteau Predicts Laughable NHL Suspensions", coming soon to Vegas!

Someone needs to start adding a laugh track for Brendan Shanahan's suspension explanation videos.

Good point. I`m not sure either. But it`s not the same as adding him in the offseason. Better or worse? I don`t know, might go both ways. Looks like Poile wants to go all-in this year (Suter likely gone, who knows what happens with Weber then) so he might just say "**** it, let`s do this". Radulov is a very good player. We`ll see.

Radulov's Russian agent told me - don't wait any news about Alex till the 15th of March. #Preds

Why not? He's good friends with Weber and Suter from when they were all young players together. They need a high-powered scorer, and here he comes, already acquainted with their system. I'm sure Trotz will be able to find a way to get him into the lineup without destroying chemistry.
From what i did read on the trade board by Preds fans, Radulov will sign an extension as well. Makes the most sense for both sides. Radulov doesn't have to play a full year for a low salary and the Preds get the top scorer they desperately need now for their playoff run. And like Saugus said, he is good friends with Suter and Weber. It was the Pred veterans like Arnott he didn't get along with.
And Kuznetsov is considered the guy who will replace Radulov in Ufa. I guess the Caps won't get their cheap second line center they hoped for.

So disregard this then?

Checking out a report by a Russian outlet that Radulov is set to join the Preds in the coming days
I'd be cautious with this outlet
Information on Radulov is coming from an agent (not his) who has players at the same club FWIW.
