so.. he will finish off his ELC this season (when you're already out of it) and then sign a new multiyear contract in Russia due to NHL lockout?

Yep.

Andy McDonald skated for a second consecutive day Sunday and his shoulder is feeling better than he assumed, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
(Updated 03/19/2012).

Fantasy Analysis
Andy McDonald was given a week-to-week timeframe by head coach Ken Hitchcock, but it sounds like McDonald is coming around nicely and could be back sooner than "week-to-week" implies.

New York Islanders acquire Yuri Alexandrov from Boston Bruins for Future Considerations. Maybe there is hope for him to play in NA after all...

This might make up for Mike hosing me while on a phone.

Poile came out to greet Radulov at the airport

Radulov is on his way to the arena right now for uniform fitting. How much bigger did he get?

Radulov will have his physical tonight and will participate in tomorrow's morning skate

I know I'm the only person that cares about this situation, but suck it

Dmitry Chesnokov @dchesnokov
Poile and Radulov will speak to the Nashville media at 9:30am CT tomorrow. #Preds will broadcast the presser.

I think it's sick... worried about the dressing room tbh... distinctly euro taste being added up front, kinda different style then the team has been built upon.

Trotz won't let it be an issue. With guys like Weber and Suter being 2 of his best friends when he left, I think it'll be fine.

Also, with the passion Radulov plays with, he naturally puts himself into situation where he is willing to take a hit, and give a hit. He plays less of a Euro style than many believe.

Lineup with both Kostitsyns in it. not sure their worried about euros.
Radulov is a potentially adding a top 20 nhl forward to the lineup.

His celebrations are a bit annoying though.. WAY too over-the-top.

He'll be a top 10-15 offensive talent if he comes back next season. I think he's an 80+pt PPG player.
