Good bye Radulov

[dustyrockon]

Nashville lost Radulov to a Russian team in the KHL. The team is known as Salavat Yulaeva. The odd thing is that the NHL and the KHL announced today that they would not poach players from each others teams, and Radulov said that he had signed with them before this announcement. Radulov also had one more year under his belt with Nashville, but signed anyways.

Nevertheless Radulov was a good young player, with loads of potential. Will this make a mark in Nashville's line up? What should Nashville do now to make up for this loss?

This is now the second big named player that this Russian league has signed. First Jagr, now Radulov. Luckily now it should be all over.

thats a good question. i have no clue what nashville will do now. I was shock when I heard this new. I though all because the NHL and Russia sign that deal no russia players can go back home if under contract. Was the deal done before? The only reason they go back home is to get more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. If he stayed in the NHl he would make around 980,000 this year, now when he is gone back home he may make up to 2 to 4 mil a year.

I think that Nashville want him to there Training Camp. (I'm 100% sure yet) What do you guys think about this. P.S. The NHL also lost Martin Stakra from the rangers too.

i wasn't a huge fan of Radulov, but alot of these players are going back just for the money. I wouldn't expect Radulov at the training camp.

[Mr. Hockey]

i know. Im ok with all the russia going home it doesn't bug me. Too bad that Maklin didn't go.
