Comments on: Predators need to walk a “fine line” if Radulov returns http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/15/predators-need-to-walk-a-fine-line-if-radulov-returns/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:52:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: davebabychreturns http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/15/predators-need-to-walk-a-fine-line-if-radulov-returns/comment-page-1/#comment-45990 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:35:47 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=115586#comment-45990 Yep, you can’t just ignore the baggage that Radulov would be bringing into the Preds dressing room – especially since the team leadership (Suter and Weber) are passionate enough about winning that they have really pressured the organization to step up and demonstrate they will do what it takes to build a contender.

Meanwhile Radulov made that team worse when he walked away, basically because he did not want to have his income limited by the same CBA every other player has to live with..

But it’s different in that he walked out on his teammates and organization. He’s not simply a trade deadline acquisition who is coming in and trying to fit in a new situation. There are clearly some ruffled feathers that will need to be smoothed if this will work. Suter and Radulov were great friends during his first go round with the team and you can see by Suter’s comments that there were some bruised feelings at some level. Maybe not deal-breaking, heart rending, gallon of ice cream eating feelings, but it certainly didn’t help any relationships with guys who are still with the team since he left.

In this case he’s a top 6 scoring talent which means that someone who’s been serving top 6 is likely to drop to 3rd and 4th line. This happens on the trade deadline for any team that picks up a top 6 forward.
