Rentalov signs with CSKA Moscow

[puckhead]

Did you count the away games too?

you know what? I'm a retard today.
That would be based off of ONE home game.

based on 27 home games all selling out, the price per ticket would be about $62 to pay his salary

So they can afford him and no teammates?

The beauty of the KHL economic model is if your owner is rich and wants to act like Roman Abromovich, then let him show you the money. Sure, a Cup would be nice, but so is economic security in the future.

i dont consider myself an economic wizard, but i think its bad when you pay out more than you bring in...

Phase 1 - Sign Radulov

Phase 2 - ???

Phase 3 - Profit

I think tickets are about $10, and avg attendance is about 3 or 4,000.
the entire league is one big corporate sponsorship.

Radulov says "never say never" in regard to a possible NHL return. Expect him to at least test the UFA market in 2016

ugh ... just go away!

Radulov stories in RUS seem to hint that the move back to KHL this summer was pre-agreed-upon as a condition to allow him to play for #Preds

He did the political thing. After all, you don't join a team for the playoff push & tell them right away you'll be gone soon

Typical Russian propaganda...He got his money and he's heading home (right Bob Cole)

Alexander Radulov got a game misconduct penalty for shoving a referee in today's CSKA game.

He's the Jeff George of hockey (million dollar talent, ten cent head)

In terms of players, is there a more unlikeable guy in the sport than this immature punk?

Matt Cooke?

Matt Cooke?

Certainly a worthy candidate.

Matt Cooke?

Still don't like Cooke, but he does deserve some credit for cleaning up his act. Avery held the title, but he's essentially a fashionista now. Steve Ott is a contender (and I know Canucks fans would put Dave Bolland and Brad Marchand high on the list).

I vote for marchand

The Predators would disagree...

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tells ya, at this news...

CSKA Moscow general manager Sergei Fedorov said Monday that the appointment of veteran Russian forward Alexei Morozov as team captain was the “logical move” as last year’s captain, Alexander Radulov, had undisclosed problems with discipline.

Morozov, 36, signed with CSKA in May after nine seasons with Ak Bars Kazan, four in the defunct Russian Superleague and five in the KHL.

“Morozov’s a man with great experience,” Fedorov said at a Moscow press conference. “I think this is a logical move. He’s the most successful, most respected player on our team.”

Morozov was Ak Bars’ captain from 2007 to 2012 and wore the “C” for the Russian national team at the world championships in 2008, 2009 and 2011 and the Olympics in 2010.

Radulov, meanwhile, has been stripped of his captaincy after one season. One of the KHL’s most dynamic scorers, Radulov had 68 points in 48 games in 2012-13. His 46 assists led the league as he made his fifth-straight All-Star Game.

Without elaborating, Fedorov said off-the-ice troubles had triggered the leadership shuffle.

“The last captain had problems with discipline,” said Fedorov, who did not mention Radulov by name. “Will it hurt the previous captain? He shouldn’t and cannot be hurt.”

Crazy how in the KHL he's like Wayne Gretzky then when he comes to the NHL he's like Brent Gretzky. This is why I have a hard time believing the KHL when they claim to be on par with the NHL.
