Alexander Radulov Returns to Russian Hockey League Alexander Radulov has ended his brief return to the N.H.L., agreeing to a lucrative offer from CSKA Moscow, according to the K.H.L. club's Web site. Radulov, the leading career scorer in the K.H.L., signed a four-year deal for $9.2 million a year, according to Dmitry Chesnokov of Yahoo sports - far more than he would have made in the N.H.L. Radulov, 26, was a restricted free agent after returning to Nashville late last season. He had three goals and four assists in nine games. He was suspended one game in the second-round playoff series by the Predators for breaking curfew at a Phoenix-area hotel and sent to the press box for the next game. Radulov jumped his Nashville contract in 2008 and joined Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the K.H.L., touching off a bitter dispute between the N.H.L. and the Russian league. The dispute was eventually papered over, and after four successful years with Salavat, Radulov returned to Nashville to help with the Predators" Stanley Cup push last spring. That push ended in the second round, and now the Predators" roster is disintegrating, with defenseman Ryan Suter in free agency and speculation that the club's other elite defenseman, Shea Weber, may want out next season. Salavat traded Radulov's K.H.L. rights to CSKA, the legendary club that had fallen on hard times lately but has been underwritten since last year by the oil company Rosneft. Sergei Fedorov became CSKA's general manager late this spring, after retiring as an active player from Metallurg Magnitogorsk. "Today I am proud to say that this long-awaited event finally happened," Fedorov said in a statement on the CSKA Web site. Alexander Radulov signed a four-year agreement with the army club. No doubt Alexander is one of the brightest Russian hockey players in recent years. On the ice, he shows passionate dedication, the highest speed, amazing vision and scoring instincts. We know that these leadership qualities will help him to become a leading player in our team, and we on our part will do everything necessary to make it so. We hope that Alexander Radulov's presence with CSKA will bring more and more fans to the stands.
