from Sport-Express (English version),
Despite this contract expires in a year, Alexander decided to swap more than successful career in NHL for a comeback to Russia.
“Salavat Yulaev has been trying to sign me for two years already”, said Radulov to Sport Express. “The club general manager Oleg Gross has been keeping in touch with my agent, so I was aware they wanted to see me wear their uniform.”
“Ufa team offered me a good contract and I decided to put my signature under the contract.”
“I had a brilliant season in Nashville, so I don’t see any reasons to regret that I didn’t move to Ufa last summer.”

I’d like to see more Russians go back to Russia. Then we could start up the World Cup again and have some real hardcore hockey ala CCCP/Canada back in the day.

Radulov claims he signed to russian contract two days before the agreement between the NHL, CHL, and the IIHF. Whatever.
I wonder if he will injure the captain of Ufa during a goal celebration in the CHL playoffs…

I thought the NHL and the CHL had agreed to respect each others’ contracts....
So much for that agreement!
Not a nice thing for Nashville…
One thing this does is make NHL teams more reluctant to draft Russian players. That, of course, is what the CHL wants.
