Value of: Radulov at the deadline

[Jabba11]

Radulov has not shown that he's elite during this preseason. He has shown that he is ready to leave it all on the ice. I was especially impressed by the way he plays along the boards and his forecheck is second to none.

this will be a fun thread to revisit. Not sure what posts are serious, and what are sarcastic.

Visit last year's Panarin thread if you really want to laugh hard.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Do you mean that Radulov will get outscored by his linemate by 30 points like Panarin did last year?

The way i see it is Radulov will start with Plekanec and Lehkonen on the second line. But rapidly will switch with Gallagher as nobody has ever set good chemistry with Plekanec, except Gallagher.

I know fans love gallagher playing with Chucky but Radulov with Chucky and Pacioretty would be deadly.

Second line of Lehkonen-Plekanec-Gallagher would be a great two-way trio as Lehkonen and Plekanec are really good defensively.

Third line of Carr-DD-Shaw could also be a pretty good offensive complement to the first 2 lines.

The only thing i would like to see from Bergevin, is getting a little bit more offense coming from the back end. Replace Emelin by Fowler, somehow, and you get the best eastern conference team.
