dlbalr Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Alexander Radulov has signed with Montreal.— Travis Yost (@travisyost) July 1, 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 What...really? I kinda thought Shipachev might sneak onto team, but wasn't Radulov just re-upped with KHL team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, he's a top six winger at least. This is right out of nowhere, especially since Detroit as of five minutes earlier seemed to be the favourite. The Radulov to KHL deal apparently was a false report. Someone will surely say it so I may as well get it out there - did Weber, his ex-teammate, help swing a deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's crazy. I'm fine with it. Outside of his personality, I hope he can still score goals like he used to. Another (former) Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I like it, but I don't understand all this shit about character players, then he signs this knuckle head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habinator33 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I really don't get it keep talking about character/leadership and trade away Subban. Then add this guy who apparently Weber isn't too fond of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the player and his skill set, but really??????? Alexander Radulov has signed with Montreal.

Commandant Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Radulov is the most talented free agent in this class not named Steven Stamkos. I've wanted him for a while http://lastwordonsports.com/2015/06/01/the-montreal-canadiens-should-sign-alexander-radulov/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RW with top-line talent? No question. The problem is that he flies in the face of what this management group supposedly believes in. He's not a robot. In fact, unlike Subban, he has actually behaved in ways that show him not to be a 'team player.' WTF? Does this organization even know what it's doing?

hab29RETIRED Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I like the skill he brings, but after moving subban because he did his own thing and isn't liked by his teammates, signing radulov makes no sense - especially with his old captain now on the team.

I agree there is no denying this guy is highly talented and skilled. The main problem is this is the exact type of player Therrien seems to hate. With the rumors of Ladd to islanders, lucic to edmonton, eriksson to vancouver, Okposo to Minn/Buffalo, and Stamkos already in Tampa this to me seems like a panic move by MB.

lazy26 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Call me skeptical, but I won't believe this until I see an official release. If it's true, and the terms are decent, then I'm happy. Legit top 3 skill and from what I've heard, he's matured off the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit top 3 skill and from what I've heard, he's matured off the ice. Exactly, that's the thing. He's only 29 and hasn't played a full season in the NHL in 8 years. It's not hard to fathom that he's matured in some respects. I don't expect that he's an angel but the character thing is too much. Literally the same people who complained that Bergevin traded Subban BECAUSE of character issues are the ones complaining about Radulov's character issues. Either way, there's a difference between having problems with someone who has already been in your locker room for 5+ years and introducing new blood. Say in one case, the individual has a hereditary disposal of developing cancer but the outcome will depend on his environment whereas the other one already has cancer. All that being said, I don't personally buy this character thing as being the sole reason Subban got shipped. I know the entire world seems to think so but that just seems to be the rational justification of a move very few can comprehend; not a proven fact.
