I feel like the hype has finally updated Radulov's perceived skill to current times. There are still alot of people that don't know the type of player Radulov has become in Russia though...

Nashville would be over the top if they can land him, and a nice enticement for Suter and Weber.

Radulov and Salavat appear to have reached a deal allowing A-Rad to leave for Nashville now. Salavat to keep his KHL rights (Sport-Express)

Sport-Express reports Radulov's talks w/ KHL, Salavat are over. He'll fly to Ufa tomorrow, most likely leave for Nashville later this week.

This is great for us. We look like zombies last 2-3 games

I can't think of any more barriers stopping this from happening. It's not 100% yet, but it's looking close to done if these reports are true. It'd be nice to hear some comments from Radulov himself.

[Timbo Slice]

Damn, Detroit has to be shaking in their boots right now at the prospect of having to face a scary Nashville team WITH Radulov.

All the best of luck to you guys this post-season. Many Habs fans such as myself will be rooting for the Kostitsyn brothers and Gill. If he does come back, I can't wait to see Radulov in the playoffs.

[Cashville]

Woooo!!

[Tiranis]

Sucks for the Canucks and all the other teams in the West but I'm still happy to see Radulov back. Exciting player to watch.

[Flgatorguy87]

UFA has released Rads! This is the shot in the arm Nashville needs to get out of this sleepwalking phase.

Haha well done sir

[keslerburrows]

Fml.

[headsigh]

it begins

[SilverRiver89]

What a wild ride. Hopefully this is the end and he really does come over now.

[Paranoid Android]

Unfortunately, Chesnokov, who has been the most reliable source during this whole thing, hasn't heard anything yet.

How reliable is Sports Express these days?

So Radulov is going to play his first game Thursday against the Pens i assume? give him a few practises with the team, skip him out of Tuesdays game and put him in on Thursdays game.

[wadesworld]

Not believing it until I see him step on the ice.

[AL-Canadian]

On "NHL Tonight", when interviewing Mike Fisher - K.Tappen said that Radulov was coming over and Fisher said the Preds were excited and that would really strengthen their 4 line capability. Based on Fisher's comments, it sure seems like the team was told to expect Radulov's return sometime in the near future. This was the first time I've seen/heard a Predator truly comment on Rads' coming back to Nashville.

From On The Forecheck:

[sm0ka47]

Good for Nashville.

Excited to see Radulov back in a preds uni.

[CBJBrassard16]

Nice, i like rads

[sabresfan129103]

Without reading through the thread what's the general opinion on this? I know Bob Mackenzie said a lot of GM's were furious, but TBH I don't see a problem here. Radulov is still under contract.
