Would you ever accept Alexander Radulov back as a Predator?

i think there’s more to the jason arnott question than re-hashing up this story’s old bones.
people need to realize that the defector’s gonna be gone until he’s of no use to anyone & if we take him back we’d probably be doing the club more harm than good.

Take him back, see what he can do, he would be RFA after first season, give him up, get the draft pick.

You have 3 negative choices and 1 positive. Well 2 negative and 1 comical, really.

But anyways, YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE RADU BACK AS A PRED! AND I WOULD NOT BE MAD AT HIM IF HE RETURNS TO THE FRANCHISE. He is a winner! He is a scorer and is valuable in the playoffs!

He will return someday! When he does come back let’s welcome him with open arms because we need him very much!

First of all, I don’t hold out any hope that he’s ever coming back. I’m not in the “Please stop bringing it up” camp—speculation doesn’t hurt anyone…but I just don’t see it ever happening, at all, even a little bit.

If he DID, however, come back, and the news broke that Poile had magicked him back to Nashville, I would be ecstatic because it would mean the following:
1. He wanted to be back in the NHL
2. Much pew pew pew for little cash monies (at least for a year; he’d have to honor the final year of his contract).
3. He’d passed the sniff test by Poile, Trotz, and possibly the team. (I’m not sure how the process would be handled, or who would get a say)
4. He’d finally be forced to live up to his obligations (well, sort of)

But mostly,
5. He’d have to face Captain Shea Weber when he walked into the dressing room.

he’s never coming back. why would he? He would take a huge pay cut and would no longer be the top dog. Life is too good for him in the KHL, and there is nothing for him here. So don’t hold your breath waiting for his return.

What is in a heartbeat?, Alex. I know it’s not likely, but it wasn’t likely a country boy that didn’t give a wiz about hockey 7 years ago would become a passionate hockey fan. Crazier stuff can and will happen. With the time he spent early in his career in North America, one has to believe he will want to play in the NHL again at some point. Was he fun to watch or not? Insane(no pun intended) ability!

Short answer: abso-freakin-lutely.

Ummmm… I wonder how many characters this field can hold? So I can put as that many YES! YES! YES!

I wish we’d say we’d forgive the rest of his contract if he signs like a $1-2 mil/one year deal with us, and go from there.

I don’t care how many points he would score for the team. This team and town doesn’t need the Vince Young of the Predators. If he wants to be catered too and not play defense. Then he can stay in Russia and play in the KHL. The best players in the world play in the NHL. Radulov decided on his own he couldn’t handle playing with the best.

If he wants to come back, let him play the one year he has remaining on his contract. If he does okay, then we keep him. If not, then let him go to the Islanders.
A similar no-risk situation we had with SK74 this year.

(If he ever DID return)

1. Give him a special jersey to wear in practice…one with a target painted on it.
2. Tell Shea to go ahead and get all the friendly cannon fire out of his system.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
