  • Over the last 16 years, Alexander Radulov has produced one of the most interesting careers of any hockey player in the game today. Whether he's making a name for himself in the NHL after being selected 15th overall in the draft, becoming one of the KHL's all-time leading scorers, getting suspended by the Predators for some late-night drinking or posting back-to-back 72P seasons with Dallas, Radulov sure seems to have done it all!
    So why has Radulov's career turned out the way it has? Why has he never stuck around in one place for too long despite putting up great or even league-leading numbers wherever he's played? Well in today's video, we're going to investigate, as we explore the curious career of Alexander Radulov!

    Man, could have easily been a 1000 point career in NHL for Radulov, possibly an Art Ross too.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention that he wanted to come back to the NHL in 2016 cause he got married and had a kid since the last time he was there, and thus wanted to redeem himself and make his kid proud.

    Radulov was sweet talked by the KHL upstarts... He was young, home sick, and he probably had a HUGE cash signing bonus to help bolster the league. I loved him as a player with the Canadiens... I was sad to see him leave.

    Hey man your videos are awesome now! it has been quite some time since i've watched your videos, and I must say they have become exponentially better. I found your video biographies in the past, the "Whatever happened to?" videos for example , were somewhat plain. You would recite the particular players team and stats from each season, maybe an injury, and that would basically be it. Those were things one could surmise by going to that players hockey database page. Your videos now go more deeply into a players acheivements in each season, other players involved in their trades and other developments.
    As i said, your productions are 1st-rate ! May i suggest that you could possibly mention a players linemates as well? Thats the kind of thing that may have weighed heavily on determining someones success. Cheers~!

      As preds a fans, I feel the dumbest thing David Poile ever did was bench Radulov and Kostitsyn in that series, as I'm sure we would of come out on top of that series had our two most dangerous offensive players not been benched, and we potentially could have gone on to win the cup. Poile later said he had no choice but to bench them, but that is total B.S because he could of played them and even being hung over they still would of lit it up! Look at all the stories of Micheal Jordan and Dennis Rodman partying during NBA finals and still winning championships. You don't bench an elite athlete just because they did not go to bed on time!

    This bit is kind of hearsay, so take it as you will, but after his deal with the Habs was up, Radulov wanted to stay with the team. However, Bergevin lowballed him during contract negotiations, and by the time the Habs agreed to his terms, it was too late. Apparently, it was the length of the contract, not the financial terms, that was the source of conflict, and the difference being 1 year (Radulov wanted 5, Bergevin wanted 4). Again, this is from hearsay, so the source may not be reliable.
