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

[TheRatPoisoner]

I attended 3 Montreal Canadian games and the atmosphere in those games were amazing, like nothing I've ever seen before. I think they deserve a lot better than Marc Bergevin as GM and Rudalov as a player. If PK Subban can't get along with Therrien how is Rudalov? Hopefully it works out for both fans and Canadians.

Bergevin is a total dip **** clearly. We all get that.

Says nothing about Radulov though.

Like I said, I'm jealous about this signing more than any other.

I think Radulov is gonna tear it up. Wanted my Wings to get him. Ken Holland rather sigh Helm though apparently.

 

[Deluded Puck]

I see Price's career heading in the same direction as Lundqvist's. Consistently putting the team on his back and never having enough support to accomplish anything significant.

He can bail out in a couple of years, he's cool.

 

[Never]

If this thread has taught me anything, it's that if someone had issues 5 years ago, they're automatically going to have the same issues today without any doubt.

Lol HF.

 

[Brownies]

There was noone else left on the market except boedker, who seems took less money to go to the sharks so he was no coming here

I kept hearing how Boedker would solve our offensive problems as our 2nd line LW... The guy who has less points than scapegoat Desharnais in more games played in the NHL.

 

[OldCraig71]

Bizarre time for us habs fans, first we trade our best player because they smeared him with the locker room cancer title. We bring in a proven cancer but a guy with something to prove and wanting back in the NHL. He is now our most talented forward and in reality it was reported that Bergevin made a big bid for Lucic and Lucic chose Edmonton so Radulov could very well be the consolation prize.

I just don't see how Radulov can coexist with Therrien, it will be another circus of a year.

If this thread has taught me anything, it's that a large number of NHL fans believe that if a guy isn't playing hockey in the NHL he must not be playing hockey at all.

Lol HF.

Ask in Chicago how they feel about Kane after he's missed a few practices/curfew... Once again, people expecting hockey players to act like role models. Same goes for Subban. Everybody who's played hockey has played with a loud mouth like him. Who cares ?

 

[1dreamof1cup]

As an Avs fan, i'm jealous. Would've loved Rads at that price.

Good for Montreal, but you have to wonder why he chose Montreal of all places with Therrien and MB there.

He wants the spotlight so he can get a huge contract next season.

Id rather ask the assault victims of Kane's how they feel rather than the team.

 

[Jigger77]

The more I read about this the more I'm reminded about when we traded for Kovalev. And that, to me is a good thing.

Not to mention in this case we're talking about a 1 year deal with a top notch talent that wants to prove he can dominate at the NHL level.


I have a good feeling about this one, been wrong before though. And I have some concerns about his conditioning level. He needs to show up to camp in shape. That becomes doubly important when you're pushing 30.

 

[Duffman955]

Charactor guy. Hes loved in the dressing room

How many curfews and practices has Patrick Kane missed?

 

[A Pointed Stick]

WTF are you guys doing up there?

 

[Shabutie]

3 years old video. Radulov really looks like a changed man these days, but he has the hot temper so never knows.

Helluva player though and it's only 1 year deal if it doesn't work.

Not sure if you guys think drinking Pepsi on the bench is a bad thing, but Zdeno Chara who's a workhorse and notorious about having a high fitness level has Coca-Cola during games too...

[Clark4Ever]

He will no doubt add firepower to the Habs offense. The off ice issues remain to be seen, but the optics of this are baffling just days after the Subban debacle.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sugar

Radulov is worth taking a chance on; especially on a 1 yr deal.

He could really help the offence no question.

 

[KPower]

MB said he did his homework on Radulov, he spoke to Weber and Fedorov in regards to his "character" and they told him he's a good guy, 4 years ago his issues were due to a lack of maturity, it wasnt a character issue. Fedorov said hes a leader for them and he's the captain of their team so..

You sure love that kool-aid.

 

[Jigger77]

Subban was not a problem in the dressing room. Subban was awesome here. It's just that Bergy feels Weber is the better defenseman right now and gives him a better chance to win now. I for one, agree. I just wish we could have both.

We'll see how it plays out.

 

[slappipappi]

Id rather ask the assault victims of Kane's how they feel rather than the team.

And who would they be?

 

[Dominator13]

The more I read the signatures, the happier I get about our acquisition. No player had more pure talent than Radulov, and that was by far our 1st need.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Stripped of captaincy by GM Sergei Fedorov for undisclosed discipline problems?

Again, I still think this is a good deal for the habs, but its amusing following the rumored reasons for Subban being traded.

That was 3 years ago. Anything else?

Preds thought that same thing 2 years ago before sitting Rads during the playoffs.

Lol indeed.

Apparently they let the bubbles fiz out so its pretty much flat then chug it
