When Alexander Radulov bolted for the KHL back in 2008, it
sparked massive controversy about fair and proper player movement between the
two leagues. With that behind him, and after dominating rinks in his home country, he has returned a more seasoned player. This has got to be scary for
the rest of the West, as the Preds were already seen by many to have been the
big winners on trade deadline day. They’ve now got one of the deepest forward
units in the NHL, and because they aren’t a very offensively skilled team, the
addition of the crafty Radulov will be a massive boost. They’ve got defense,
goaltending, coaching, and now a top-end goal scorer. Other GM’s may think it’s dirty pool, but all’s fair in love and war. This move could push Nashville into legitimate contention.
