Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Alex Radulov (1 year, $5.750M AAV)

[CaptainBenn]

Russian connection Markov, Galchenyuk, Emelin, Sergachev.

Played his juniors in Québec city, so is familiar with the culture here.

Knows Weber.

Scherbak too

 

[HawksFan28]

You keep being ignorant ?

I just told you there's an agreement between the leagues and one can't just simply leave a team while under contract

Radulov has already done it once.

 

[CH25]

Montreal has always been a good place to be for Russian players. Only thing that worries me is Therrien.

 

[ViD]

Radulov has already done it once.

No agreement back then

Go learn some basics please

 

[JKinCLE]

I'm sure its been posted in the thread earlier, but I'm late to the party. Very interested to see what happens to this team this year.

There's so many made up things in this thread

 

[General Fanager]

Best player signed today. Now whether he has grown up is another question.....

 

[Slush]

It's only for 1 year. It's going to be a make or break type season for Radulov.

 

[authentic]

This should be interesting.

Can anyone actually defend this?

WTF is that? Geez

 

[Whaddagoal]

I'll give it a stab...


1) He was trying to hit he glass because fans were being horrible and got really pissed off.

2) Maybe the coach had some choice words for his family....


The funniest thing is the reaction of the coach, who then... right afterwards, goes about his business as if nothing happened.

 

[CH25]

Can anyone actually defend this?

Of course not but no context is given. What pushed him to do that.

 

[CaptainBenn]

Can anyone actually defend this?

Him after Therrien telling him he will play on the 4th line on opening night

 

[Clark4Ever]

Talented player without a doubt. Hypocritical move by Bergevin though in the aftermath of the Subban trade.

 

[Eco]

Can anyone actually defend this?

No, as someone who actually keeps up with the KHL, I can say that he is a 100% immature nut case.

I'm shocked he got 5.75m....

 

[CashMash]

Good contract in terms of value and term. No risk. Probably a great top-6 forward when it comes to pure skillset.

However, if they indeed did trade Subban because he was too much of a character, then wait 'til they get a load of Radulov. He has had character issues in the past and I've seen no indication of them being gone.

 

[worstfaceoffmanever]

So you trade Subban because his personality rubs people the wrong way, the sign the biggest certifiable basket case in hockey?

This will be fun.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Just going to leave this right here.

But Montreal wants character and leadership! Hypocrite

 

[ViD]

Can anyone actually defend this?

He was angry and wanted to smack his stick against the board. He didn't want to actually hit his coach .it was an accident

 

[Adam Michaels]

The most skilled player not playing in the NHL. Sure there are questions about his behaviour, but Montreal media got in touch with sources who know Radulov and mention how much he's matured. The birth of his child helped change him. And there is no way Habs didn't consult with Weber on this. They wouldn't sign him if he didn't give them his blessing. Being on a 1-year deal can help keep him in line, if need be.

He is a much better risk than Semin and Kassian from last year. I'm liking the Habs. Get Boedker if you can as a UFA or offer sheet Nikita Kucherov and make it hard for Tampa to match.

Now with about 2.5M left in space, I'm guessing trades are coming.

And the player beside him, no reaction at all. Strange

 

[sayheykid]

Can anyone actually defend this?

The coach had an angry bee on his face. If anything, Rads should be hailed as a hero.

 

[TofoEmptyNt]

Can anyone actually defend this?

Maybe he'll do that to Therrien?

 

[Atas2000]

I would demand a trade if I was Shea. Rads is cancer.

so ***hurt still? Relax, he is a gerat guy and a great player. Your teams looks quite good now. Enjoy.
