I get being suspicious of it if you're a Habs fan, but in a vacuum it's a really good signing.

Sure but true vacuums never exist. I guess it's really just a slap in the face after shipping subban off for allegedly the same poo poo, except Radulov's is actually real

Another league he was really good in was the NHL.

Agreed, and on TSN just now the concerns over Subban were "he donated to charity but his teammates didn't nominate him for the foundation award" and "didn't sulk enough after losses".

I liked the response though. "if his teammates didn't nominate him for the award maybe that's on them"

That's a decent deal, I'll take it. Kinda funny they let Stalberg go to sign Grabner for that but as long as they don't expect Grabner to suddenly find his scoring touch again and are happy with him as a 4th line PKer then it's decent

Radulov was always a pro on the ice. Guy played through some nasty injuries at the end of his first stretch in Nashville. He isn't the first or only guy to go out drinking the night before a playoff game.

Rangers getting Grabner for cheap and maybe Vanek and the Islanders are spending like crazy. This is weird.

Radulov's character concerns are that he likes to make significantly more money living in his home country.

He's younger and faster than Stalberg and their production is similar, so ehh. Maybe Stalberg wanted a bit more than $1.5 from the Rangers (cost of living being more expensive in NYC than Carolina)

It just doesn't make sense within the context of "character issues" being a big part of why Subban left.

SHUT UP

:mad:

Last year he lost his job out of training camp but AV found a way to get him back in the lineup before too long.

So yes. Until the Rangers find a way to replace Glass's "toughness" with someone who brings the same but is a better hockey player then he's on the roster for next year. I just hope they don't think Martin is that replacement

On the flip side, if he does that to Therrien, is it $5.75m well spent?

unless they assassinate him then the Rangers can't really do anything on Glass at the moment except send him to the AHL when the season starts so that AV can recall him a few weeks later
