Based on Alexander Radulov's Russian agent, Yuri Nikolaev recent statements, it looks like his client will probably end up in the KHL. "Alexander no longer has thoughts, watching the sea, whether he should go to the NHL or play in the KHL," Nikolaev told the Russian newspaper Izvestiya. "We are negotiating with CSKA about a personal contract. However we are not in CSKA yet; there are matters we have to discuss with the club's general managers." Nashville still holds Radulov's NHL rights, although they don't want to re-sign him and they are interested in trading his rights.
