Alex Radulov Returns To Russia, Signs 4-Year Deal In KHL - SBNation.com

Good riddance. I guess if you can't be a top player in North America, why not take your talents to Europe?

Damn, now I'm doing it.

 

[pixburgher66]

See you! Please don't ever come back! K, thanks!

 

[Trudem]

its a shame...he could have been really really good if he never went over there.

he seems like one of the athletes that are a damn waste. Incredible talent but would rather get a ton of money than win at the highest level of competition.

LAZY

 

[DChero]

Not saying the AHL and KHL are on the same level, but it seems like he'd rather drop down a level and be considered to be a better player.

@dchesnokov
Radulov is set to make 300 million rubles per year, around $9.2 million, in the #KHL. More details soon on Puck Daddy.

dont they offer tax free contracts to some players too?

 

[mattola]

this could be the death of the KHL in the future

I mean I know they have money and the fan support is limited but for a player like him to get this money.


edit:" I tried to delete that thread dash but it looks like you moved it first. you can get rid of it. I didn't see yours originally. i JUST woke up

I just hope other Russian talent doesn't follow...because that's some crazy money. Although, I feel like if I were a millionaire, a few extra million wouldn't really matter to me. I wouldn't know what to do with ONE million.

More money to play lower competition? Sign me up!

it scares me a little because he used to mention that he wanted to end his career in Russia. He is my all-time favorite player and when he leaves it will be very hard for me to handle.

Haha! That makes more sense.

 

[Trudem]

Haha! That makes more sense.

I had Datsyuk in my head so I guess I thought that I typed his name down but I guess not.

So it was tradition. Gotcha.

Was that a backhand to the Preds?

CSKA's arena seats 5,500 people.
that means tickets would have to be priced at about $1,675 each, and sell out every game, just to cover his salary alone.
now there's a doozy of an economic model.
