I've never been a Radulov believer, but that does pique my interest a little bit. Bumps my possibility of him coming here from 5-10% to 15-20%.
Yeah neither have I, but when I found that... I thought to myself, **** that's hard to ignore with the roster decisions and the cap outlook for the last year or two.
I do think Barrie producing as much as he is, is a fly in the soup, but it seems they planned for it just enough to still allow them to do it.
Personally, and I wish I could ****ing bet $1,000 on this, but I'm guessing Roy tries something like ;
Duchy - Radulov
Mikko - MacK
Landy - Soda
Fill in the blanks, at the beginning of next season.
Roy keeps trying to run three offensive pairs at the start of every single season, but we have not had the depth for it to work except for the start of his first year here where we had that ridiculous record to start the year. I think Iginla & Comeau were supposed to be strong depth at that point to fill in those blanks. I also think Grigorenko, and Compher were expected to fight for one of those spots as well.
Everyone knows I love the conspiracy stuff, but I do at least try to incorporate more actual logic into it than the usual theorist.
I also think in Roy's mind our defense is set for the future with Bigras and Zadorov, so he won't be trading either one. Who knows what pairings he has in mind though.
Radulov would be so great. He is world class wing and he would add that edge to our team, which we are currently missing(other than Landy going Viking mode time to time). He is a warrior and sometimes it goes over, but sign me up for him. He is entertaining player! Bring him to Colorado!
Personally I think this team could use his passion and pissed off competitive nature with how inconsistent this team is as far as compete level depending on who their playing and what not.
I'm not in the camp that subscribes to the, because hes Russian he does not back check and does not care attitude. He's actually a lot like Roy in the fact that hes ****ing out there when it comes to how over the top competitive he is, and how that gets away from him from time to time.
Which is probably why Roy and him get along so well IMO, they probably both understand each other quite well. You can see how crazy competitive Radulov is just by watching his high light real. Not a lot of fancy ****, but he loves to celebrate like a beast and gets pissed off easily on the ice. That's basically Roy as a forward lol.
