Puck Daddy's Dmitry Chesnokov is all over the Radulov news this morning, stating that wayward NHL future Conn-Smythe winner Alexander Radulov's KHL club Salavat Yulaev is not willing to terminate his KHL contract to allow him to return to the NHL this season. Salavat's season is over, but KHL contracts run until April 30th. As Chesnokov tweets, terminating Radulov's deal now would mean Salavat losing his rights if he ever returns to the KHL. Personally, this kind of feels like something the NHL figured would happen all along and was a big part of the reason they so happily signed off on his return. Now the KHL gets to look like the bad guy when it comes to upcoming CBA negotiations. [Update: Here is the Puck Daddy article from Chesnokov on the situation. Things aren't finalized just yet]
