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

[ViD]

Poor Shea

You guys are ridiculous to think that the Habs management didn't talk to Weber about Radulov before signing him.

There will be zero problems between those two

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Guess this means no Shipachyov?

 

[Maple Leaf]

Yeah, this is really a high reward low risk deal. Whats the worst that can happen? He sucks and gets put on waivers? Its a deal most teams make.

He derails the entire team.

We need a top 6 forward, we get a top 3 and probably a top 15 RW NHL... and the perfect complement for Alex Galchenyuk. Yes Radulov was a problem in the past, but everybody get maturity and when you hit a contract for one year, you know what you have to do.

This it probably the best contract given today. I realy like this!

 

[ottawa]

Just going to leave this right here.

awkward...new team, new beginnings?

 

[Donkeyz]

Awesome deal. Really happy to see Radulov play for the Habs! Can't wait for the season to start.

 

[JusticeBeaver]

You have to be naive to think they didn't consult Weber before bringing him in. Great talent, cheap contract, good move.

MB outdoing his Semin signing makes for great comedy. That is a very risky signing.

Top 10 right wing easily

 

[Sonofamitch]

Lol never realized how bad MTL offence is until TSN posted that depth chart. They could really use another top 6 LW to bump Shaw out the top 6.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Guess this means no Shipachyov?

Shipachev wasn't going to come.

 

[Video Coach]

Guess this means no Shipachyov?

I don't see this...still have room and they play different positions. Still think Ship could be a good 2-3C on a 1-2 yr deal at $3-4M. If they sign him DD is gone.

 

[KILLger]

He derails the entire team.

They just missed the playoffs. No rails to be found.

 

[De Montreal]

Did anyone mentionned its weird to trade subban for character issues and then sign radulov?

 

[Auston Marlander]

- Trade your best skating player for someone who isn't as good
- Sign a player your newly squired player hates.

Well played MTL

 

[LarKing]

Seriously, this guy is top-end talent and we were able to sign him for a 1-year contract. It's amazing how people love to hate the Habs

This isn't a Habs hate thing, please don't play the victim card here. This is a Radulov hate thing. They hated him well before the news today.

Intriguing signing. Weber must have put in a good word. (actually, who knows, maybe he did).

Unless they hypnotized him to convince there's no issue between them, simply talking to him does nothing. If Rads continues to be Rads, he'll still be an annoyance to him.

 

[Kafka]

Will the Montreal media question him about this? Radulov character has been garbage.

Bergevin didn't trade Subban cause of his personnality. He said it clearly during the press confidence. Read what Renault Lavoie said about last winter west-coast trip the team had, and you'll find part of the answer. "Taking responsabilities for his mistakes" isn't an "advanced stats".

 

[Jee]

Did anyone mentionned its weird to trade subban for character issues and then sign radulov?

Nah, but someone brought Mike Richards... for some reason.

 

[David Suzuki]

Great job by Bergevin wow. People with 4+ year old opinions spurred on by anti Russian sentiment know nothing.

 

[Classicnamesup]

I look forward to watching this happen. Hopefully a trainwreck

 

[SvenBaertschi]

MB outdoing his Semin signing makes for great comedy. That is a very risky signing.

How? Its a one year deal.

 

[ZeHockeyFan]

Hope this works out for them. Weber (and the rest) better watch out for Rads when they score goals.

 

[ottawa]

TSN said Weber was consulted beforehand
