I'm surprised Bergevin balked at this contract, if those were indeed Radulov's terms.
I'd prefer 1 less year on the term, but the money's about right and I wouldn't consider that 1 year a deal breaker.
On principle, I'd rather not give any kind of term to a player based on a one year performance. Radulov was going to get a contract like this regardless though. Maybe when you are taking a chance on a player you should try to get them under a 2 year contract in case they do work out. Give them more time to get attached to the team and to gauge their performance for more than 1 season.
