That thread on the Trade boards is making me angry. Been up for hours and no one's changed the title to reflect the correct info. Amateur hour.
What is the correct info?

There are a few different reasons why some teams are Leary of him giving him big money. I highly suspect play legal has very little to do with it.Elite NHL players (forwards) make 8 to 10 mill a year, i'll say this again and leave it at that. If Radulov was such an elite NHL player like some of you here claim he is, he'd be snatched by now for the 7.5 he's asking. You guys make it sound like Radulov is the best player in the NHL by some of the comments i read.
The GM of Ufa had no idea what anyone was talking about, his own agent has said he's not signed anywhere. Nothing has changed with him. But because Friedman put out some bad info, everyone's jumped to the conclusion that he's signed back in Russia after no one would pay him $7.5M a season or whatever. Seeing as how that's been disproved, the least that could happen would be for the thread title to be updated to reflect it. Ideally, also edit the OP to include the tweets, etc. contradicting Friedman's assertion, including the man himself walking it back.
Obviously someone with some sort of connection to Radulov leaked that to Friedman. The KHL threat is a standard negotiating tool for Russian players. Nothing wrong with using it, even though it's a bit transparent.
That said, it's possible his ego has a salary ceiling and if that's not reached in the NHL he'll take his puck and go home. No one really knows what's going through his mind.
Only about 5M in cap space with two spots to fill buying out Stuart
/thread
They have just under 22M of space once Grimaldi is sent to the AHL...
And that's counting Stuart's cap hit.
Your "/thread" is premature, in my view.
^ Trade Mitchell, sign a 4th liner at around 800k and add Radulov at around 5.5
(I dont think it's likely, but it's possible)

Radulov going down from 7.5 to 5.5 is almost impossible specially when he can make alot more in the KHL, maybe he will take 6.5 but I think that's as low as he will go
Glad to know you are in Radulov's inner circle
Nah, I just don't have unrealistic expectations like some of you do. If you think Radulov will go from making 9 or 10 mill to 5.5 and playing for the Avs who aren't going anywhere, keep dreaming
It's so hard to get a read on Radulov. One second he's coming here because he doesn't care as much about money and wants a Cup, but now he's looking for a ridiculous amount of money. Dude is a loose canon and kind of locker room poison. Money may be better spent on Okposo or elsewhere.
Figure out how to add Radulov for 6M to this roster, and still roll with at least 22.

Why are we buying out Stuart if it doesn't help towards the cap?

The word is that the relationship between he and the organization is "not good", to say the least. Rumor has it that he did not like being scratched, etc.
Basically, the Organization doesn't seem particularly fond of the idea of him being around anymore. Trading for him, and his subsequent extension, was one of Sakic's worst moves he's made. At the very least he got the picks he traded for him back...so that's something, but the extension itself was...
