Folks, we may know sooner rather than later if erstwhile Preds winger, Alexander Radulov, is planning a return this season. Much to my delight, the Ak Bars are leading the Quarterfinal Series of the KHL versus Radulov's Squad, Salavat Yulaev by a margin of 3 games to 1. Salavat Yulaev could be eliminated as soon as Wednesday evening (March 7). Could an early exit for him in Russia light the competitve fires for a cup in the U.S.? Being ousted quickly certainly couldn't hurt...
