If Dallas falls out of a playoff spot I could see them doing this. Not sure what others think but I almost feel that's an over-payment for Rads. Also never knew Burakovsky was Swedish

I'd be a bit concerned with Radulov's contract. He's got 4 more years on his deal, which could crush us when Backstrom and Holtby are pending UFAs. Not saying that we're for sure re-signing Holtby, but it's worth considering if Samsonov doesn't pan out

Make it Bura, Niskanen, Riley Barber, Tobias Geisser, and 1st and a 3rd and you could get it done (maybe retain a little Nisky salary too). But that frees up so money to re-sign Backstrom, make a decision on Holts and you can still go cheap in the bottom 6 with Gersich, Walker, Stevie, etc....Connolly would have to be traded elsewhere (same for DSP).

I think you paid for Radulov about six times over.

Oh yeah ur right...to get a top player in the league for some early round picks and spare parts. Yeah...def over paid. C'mon man...that's ridiculous when you actually look at the value. But nonetheless, you're probably someone who thinks Lucas Johansen is developing well (hint hint...he was having a ****ty season before he got injured). This trades excess players, an ok prospect, a player whose value is decreasing (albeit a promising player) and a 1st,2nd,3rd for a beast (in radulov) who would slot in perfectly with kuzy and ovi. Your opinion is ridiculous, unwanted, and immaterial. You have demonstrated your lack of understanding about player's value.
