The Nashville Predators will not bring back Alexander Radulov for the 2012-13 season and will look to trade his rights to another NHL team.
GM David Poile said if the team cannot deal him then they will allow him to return to the KHL to play in Russia. "The best way to characterize it is it's time to not pursue Rad anymore," Poile said. "If he wants to play in the KHL, that's fine. If he wants to play with another NHL team, I'd be willing to trade his rights." Radulov is scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1. He returned to the Predators near the end of the regular season after playing four years in Russia. He notched three goals and four assists in nine games and posted another six points in eight playoff contests.
