Since he's from KHL do we still have to wait until tomorrow at noon to officially sign or can it be done now?

Thats....way too much..

Replaces Jokinen's contract. So either Kovy or Radulov are gonna be here next season, probably get 7m per.

It's a little bit of a gamble for sure but we will see what happens. Would have preferred 1 or 2 years but oh well we may have had to give him the 3rd year to beat out other teams.

Term is fine, dollars though?

Good.

Cmon, you can’t be mad we have a ton of cap space but then also be mad when we give Dadanov, a sought after free agent, a decent contract.

Nice one Bat...

a bit of a gamble but short enough term so shouldn't be a disaster... huge upside though

It could be a steal with how he's played recently.

Dadonov is back lol. I like the signing and I liked him here initially, I was pretty upset when we moved him. The real question is, will he don the 63?

3 prime years, fair value IMO

 

[Chaos2k7]

Good start.

 

[Bure1096]

Batting who's next? Possibly another Russian?

Full circle.

It's a gamble worth taking, you don't find NHL top6 UFAs for that price.

I guess we found out why we got rid of Bolland after all..

If Kovalchuk and/or Radulov follow I'll go berserk!

 

[Brokin]

Didn't LV pay $4.5 for Shipachov for 2 yrs? What's the big deal. To me you only sign guys from the KHL short term period. I wouldn't give Rad or Kovy more than 3 yrs.

 

[Bure1096]

Kovy for Demers
Sign Rady....
