The Canadiens should attempt to sign Alexander Radulov

[jwrocks1]

I realize that and I'm not saying it could never happen. I just don't think MT helps the situation.

agreed

David Poile is likely one of the most anti-Russian GMs in the league. While it is likely Radulov did break curfew, it is also likely that Nashville PR embellished their side of the story regarding AK46 and Radulov breaking team rules.

Poile will take any Euros except those from Russia. No doubt he was tiiiicked when Radulov "betrayed" him the first time and wanted to get back at him somehow if he had made another misstep ever again, and he did.

Why would he have brought him back to begin with? Why would he have traded for AK and SK? And you really believe Poile forced the coach to bench two of their top 9 wingers in a playoff game just because he doesn't like Russians? Come on...

If he hated Russians that much, why did he draft Kamenev in the 2nd round last year?

AHAHAHAH, it's funny because he does say respect that way ! You, sir, are a genious, pretty sure it's the first time anybody says that joke !

Umm...not sure where you have been but this joke/phrase has been all over the place for a while now, at least during the time people were pissed at MT which is pretty much all of this year...

Kamnev was examined through a microscope to make sure he was "North American" enough. It's quite clear that the Preds are extremely gunshy on any comrade after the mid-2000s. They used to draft them just like every other team, but the Russians just suddenly all dried up, with one exception.

Every Russian is put through a microscope because of the KHL effect... Montreal has drafted 1 Russian in the last 5 years, and he was playing in the CHL. Do we hate Russians too?

I would rather add Beleskey and Frolik.

I like Frolik as well. But I'd prefer Sharp to Beleskey.
