Rumor: Habs sign Radulov

[Skip Bayless]

Therrien and Radulov is a disaster in the making.

But Radulov is an elite talent.

Bergevin trades players to appease Therrien and then signs players that wouldn't work well with him. At one point just fire the coach.

 

[Lshap]

If this is true I wonder how him and Therrien are going to get along. Also, MB traded Subban for attitude issues we assume, but now he goes out and signs Radulov?

Supposedly Subban's teammates were unhappy with him. The only Hab who might have a problem with Radulov, ironically, would be Weber!

Bergevin trades players to appease Therrien and then signs players that wouldn't work well with him. At one point just fire the coach.

Which is proof that he trades players not for the coach but to make the team, in his mind's eye, better

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Subban: Forgotten

 

[mitchmagic]

I don't understand.

 

[Habaneros]

Raduuuuu


If we got him I'm VERY HAPPY....I wanted him when he was still in Nashville....


He was loved in Quebec too,...

The fans will have someone who will pull them out of there seats....This is Kovy type of skill....

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

If true, maybe they are banking on a more mature Radulov. I would welcome a Radulov who has made strides from a maturity standpoint.

Quoting a guy on the Nhl Trade and Rumors thread

"Aivis Kalvins remains the only source reporting the signing. The NBC Sports link title is misleading, they have no independent confirmation, nothing but a fluff piece regurgitating the Kalvins tweet and the one by LeBrun which says nothing is official yet."

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

can't wait to see him dump n chase

 

[Coach Travis]

Alex Semin 2.0

If this is true I don't understand the PK trade. You get rid of a player who is a problem in the locker room but great on the ice and then you go get a player that is a cancer in the locker room and on the ice.

Don't bring logic to the debate it's too much for some people.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Saw it on twitter.

OMG!!!

Let's get rid of Subban for character issues, but then bring in Radulov?

That's a plan?

BWTF, we just got more talent up front for nothing.

Over/under on when MT benches is ass for not playing the right way?

6th game for me.

 

[Dominator13]

Hell yes! Talent baby, about time.

 

[Bob Cole]

Now we need to sign ak46

 

[SnapVirus]

Some Habs fans here, I dont understand?

Radulov aka Semin 2.0? Wtf? Radulov is arguably the best russian player in the world after Malkin/Ovechkin. Okposo, Ladd, Lucic, Eriksson ARE SIGNING ELSEWHERE.

So you rather have Carr and Andrighetto on your 2nd line and Shaw and Danault on your 3rd, then Radulov?

I bet if Radulov play the full year with Galchenyuk, he'll end up in the top20 pointers in the NHL.

 

[Habaneros]

Alex Semin 2.0

Radulov got his jersey retired in Quebec...he knows the market...

I don't think Alex Semin 2.0....

If he lands in Montreal,he is a superstar in Quebec day 1..

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Alex Semin 2.0

A much more expensive one at that most likely

 

[scrubadam]

Not getting excited till its official.

Hate to say it but some might have egg on their face of this is just a rumour.

Hope it's true but let's not count are chickens before they hatch.

 

[mitchmagic]

Woah woah woah. Radulov is not Semin 2.0. He's outrageously better -- just comes with baggage (maybe?)

He's a fantastic player.

XXX-Galchenyuk-Radulov
Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gallagher

Whoever the XXX is, this is a decent top-6.

 

[Vicious]

if this doesn't fix our lockerroom cancer issues, nothing will! Long live Bergevin!

 

[Poochie_D]

Really not sure how I feel about this. There are several guys I would much rather have. Marc didn't learn his lesson with Semin? It's a similar situation.

Radulov is a plan B move.

58 points 10 years ago is not your main acquisition. It shouldn't be at least.

Not to mention his issues with partying and attitude.
