In a radio interview Tuesday afternoon, Nashville Predators GM David Poile said that he plans to meet with Alexander Radulov and his agent during the World Hockey Championships that begin later this month in Switzerland.

While Radulov's return to the Predators would add desperately-needed goal scoring at an affordable price (he still has one year left on a contract that would pay him $900,000), some of the other players have mentioned that the young Russian would have work to do rebuilding his relationship with the team.
