Proposal: Possible Trades?

[glenwo2]

u would only get the word "radu..." out to lou before he shot u in the face with his machete. yes. machete. **** off.


....though i cant knock his talent. hes a headcase and a half.

Lou actually has a weapon that can shoot a machete? Damn.

He's more dangerous a GM than we all thought.

Bernier has almost 100 goals? Really?

80. Over parts of 8 seasons.

A devoted Radulov, is better offensively . No chance he is as good defensively as Parise is.

Radulov might play on a checking line without a problem. Parise's defence is better but I still see Radulov's at least as average. On the other hand Radulov's vision, puck handling and shot are on another level. He has the knack to deflect shots and also deadly playmaking abilities around the net. He's one big waste of talent.


Radulov typical plays:

Love him as a player, hate him as a person. Le sigh.

Agreed 100%

if only he wasn't a ******.

anyway, if we do add anybody this season, i doubt they're going to be a dynamic player. a solid 2nd liner is probably the best we can hope for.

Fun fact about Radulov for equipment junkies like myself: he uses the exact same equipment Clarkson uses.

From head to toe. Clarkson started using a different stick this season though (Easton RS-Mako-RS-Mako over the last two years, not sure why he`s going back and forth lol).

Radulov is almost worth taking a shot on if he is cheap. The question is can he be held in line.

This is where Kovy and other vets could come in huge if they was able to control the kid and get him to buy into Devils hockey and culture he would be an amazing player here the thought of a line of Kovy - Zajac - Radulov is scary for other teams to face.

That said i believe its HIGHLY unlikely that Lou even notices Radulov is coming back to the NHL let alone makes a call. If it were any other GM i would say maybe simply because he might talk with Kovy but Lou doesnt let players have any say about upcoming trades or signings or at least thats what he tells the media.

But like the rest of this thread its always fun to think about!!

 

[apice3*]

Radulov and Kovy would be amazing to watch on offense, but I do not want to watch a line where Kovy is the second best defender in our own zone.

Radulov wouldn't cut it here.

 

[Devil X]

Radulov wouldn't cut it here.

Unfortunately this is right.

He would have to prove himself somewhere before he was to find his way to the Devils.

 

[manilaNJ]

Didn't Lou make it very clear that he made sure to verify the team aspects of Kovy's game and what kind of character he had?

The same would have had to be done for Radulov, and it doesn't seem like too many in Nashville would go through great lengths to do that for him.

 

[Bleedred]

Don't the Preds still hold Radulov's rights?

Easton has a long history of painting sticks differently for pro stock. Bauer too, for that matter.

And I don't really see Radulov ending up here. Although if he could learn from Kovy it might not be terrible...

Last season Minnesota was the worst possession team in the NHL. Wild fans claimed it was due to a lot of injuries in their top 6, but they were already at the bottom of puck possession when they owned the best point total in the NHL, around december. Some people say Yeo's system is strong forechecking others say it's trapping.

I think Yeo sucks.

I've seen Wild fans claim that he is running Pittsburgh's system, which is patently false. I don't think he's a good coach either, and I hope Parise finds that out the hard way.

Some LA poster thinks Penner, Williams, and Stoll are part of the Kings' "garbage". I'd take all three.

Depends on the price for me, but I'd certainly consider it.

I would not give up Larsson+ for anything.

Larsson alone I might entertain for a few guys. But if we're going to give him up I am absolutely NOT adding anything else to the package.

Ya, I would be very hesitant trading Larsson, even with a star forward coming back.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

They do. They'd take a 5th rounder and run.

The same would have had to be done for Radulov, and it doesn't seem like too many in Nashville would go through great lengths to do that for him.

So he got drunk with a fellow (Bela)Russian after a loss, big deal. Russians do that all the time and they don`t even have a reason.

Radulov and Kovy would be amazing to watch on offense, but I do not want to watch a line where Kovy is the second best defender in our own zone.

Radulov wouldn't cut it here.

I hate to say that, but the best defense is offense in this case. You take the good with the bad. Radulov`s a beast on the cycle. His puck possession numbers are usually off the charts (not sure if FMASC can confirm this). He controls the puck the same way Zetterberg or Tavares do. Rarely gets stripped off it. Not to mention he had great chemistry with Kovy whenever they played together on a line for Team Russia.

Sure he would have to learn a thing or two, but he looked decent in the most defensively oriented system in the league, so I wouldn`t be too worried about that.

Again, just saying.

Don't the Preds still hold Radulov's rights?

I believe so. For one more year iirc.

Not sure if it means anything though.

 

[bmqdevils]

I'd love radulov just like I'd love Crosby. Neither is gonna happen but it'd be awesome if it did.

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

I don't know why everyone is saying that they'd welcome Radulov on the cheap. Isn't he the highest paid player in the KHL? If by that comment, poster are refering to the value it would cost us to get his rights from Nashville... then you can forget my post

Getting his rights from Nash would be cheap because i believe they want NO part of him.

As for signing him yes he is the highest paid player in a B-League where he is the most talented player. In the NHL thats not the case and he still needs to prove somethings. Plus the way it read he was being forced back to the NHL.

That still doesn't take away the fact that he'd demand somewhere in the range of 6M$ per.

Radulov is nothing but trouble and that's the last thing Lou wants in his locker room. He bolted to Russia cause he wanted to get paid and now he might bolt from Russia cause he's not getting his way?

Sounds like the exact type of player Lou would target.
