It’s that time of the year where rumors start picking up about Alexander Radulov returning to the NHL.
Alex Radulov has rejected CSKA's extension offers and is determined to become a free agent. Another NHL comeback is a distinct possibility.

Radulov being eager to become a free agent doesn’t necessarily link him directly to an NHL return, but it certainly doesn’t put any of the rumors to rest. His last stint in the NHL was in 2011-12 when he skated in nine games with the Nashville Predators. Since then he’s been skating with CSKA Moscow and has been over a point-per-game player, scoring 256 points in his last 160 games.
Even with his colorful NHL history, it’s likely that numerous teams would be after Radulov’s services.
