Cracks me up to think Rads will save Nuke.
He. Is. A. Lost. Cause.
Cut bait and trade him for a bag of pucks... if you even can.

I think it's pretty unfair to expect Radulov to solve the mysteries of two underwhelming prospects just because they're all Russian. That's not his job. Even if it was, I think I'd rather see him focus his attention on some other younger players who probably have a better shot of being useful.If we have both Gurianov and Nichushkin going into training camp Radulov will help bring out and show coaches the one that deserves a possible opening day roster spot. The coaches won’t even have to ask him to do so; he’s just that type of guy and would want to get one of his country-men a spot if they want it enough.

Lack of production.Elaborate on how he is a lost cause
Lack of production.
Running to the KHL (character fights through obstacles and adversity, it doesn’t flee to a more advantageous situation).
Eye test.
Or Rads can say, "I barely cared about playing for the Predators, and I still put up numbers better than the two of you ever will combine for in an NHL season. I then went back to the KHL, where I again produced numbers you two could only do in a video game. That's why I was still able to find an NHL contract late in my 20s. So, if you're looking for advice, I'd say save your money because you don't have the skill to do what I do."Nice article on how Rads is encouraging G Smith. Maybe he can help his comrades.....as in "Let me tell you about the time I partied the night before a playoff game in NSH.....I won't ever do THAT again!" Or "the time I went back to the KHL and had trouble coming back. Had to play for peanuts for a year to convince Stars to sign me."
I guess a lot depends on if he has matured. The talent and potential has always been there though and should still be. He showed at times Evgeni Malkin type potential (obviously he won't be that, but at times he showed that level of dominance) in the NHL. But a lot depends on how he is used, if he does indeed come back and mature, and if he is able to find his game. Definitely a big question mark but the potential is still there and he is still very young
are we still talking about Gurianov here?7 pts in his last 7 games after being promoted to Second Line . Hopefully a sign he’s beginning to turn the page .
Scored yesterday after only having one point (an assist) in the previous eight games.
It’s so similar to the Jack Campbelll pick. There were so many obvious choices and for whatever reason we went off the board.
Didn't we do the same with the Riley Tufte pick? Let's all take a moment to be thankful that Nill didn't go off the board when we got the 3rd overall pick...
Tufte wasn't off the board. He was ranked around that area but he definitely wouldn't have been my first pick (hello Alex Debrincat and Libor Hajek)
Yep. I was so mad we passed on DeBrincat, and this past year I thought we traded up to draft Tolvanen. I like Oettinger, but Tolvanen is exactly what we needed.
Tolvanen would've been nice. I wasn't exactly sold on him though, but I didn't get a chance to watch many prospects last year where I was busy with school.
At 27 I wanted Robertson (lirl) but I'm still alright with Oettinger.
Oettinger + Robertson is a decent duo though, I'm content with it.
Me too. Robertson could really turn out to be a 2nd round steal
Love these tweets from Stars fans back when we drafted Gurianov over Barzal.
