Alex Radulov has returned to Russia, signing a four-year deal with CSKA Moscow of the KHL.
Alex Radulov's NHL experiment was short-lived. The former Nashville Predator is returning to the Kontinental Hockey League, signing a four-year deal with power franchise CSKA Moscow on Monday, according to a report from Sport-Express.
Radulov returned to the Predators near the end of this past season, collecting on the final year of his NHL contract with the club. Nashville saw Radulov as an instrumental piece of Stanley Cup puzzle, but his play on the ice did not reflect the potential impact he could have had on their playoff run. During the playoffs, Radulov was seen coasting through the neutral zone and on the backcheck often.
Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn were suspended for breaking curfew during the Western Conference semifinal series against the Phoenix Coyotes, reportedly partying in Arizona hours after a loss.
Financial terms of Radulov's deal with CSKA Moscow were not immediately reported.
