Radulov bolts back to the KHL

[troyjk]

I don't think everyone here gets mad at people bolting for the KHL, I think people just overall didn't like Radulov as a person. He doesn't come across very well with the decisions he makes, Russia can have him. If he can make the money elsewhere, good for him. The thing that made me think he was a giant douche was when he basically slapped his coach with his hockey stick.

If I needed some money I think Russia would be the way to go, but then again I am not a pro hockey player with that opportunity so I don't know what I would do. I know if given the opportunity to go to Russia for the heck of it, I would pass lol.

Taxes are non-existent in Russia, not to mention the perks that extend beyond boatloads of cash.

Sometimes I wonder why people seem to take it personally when a player leaves for the KHL. Do you think the people on the Russian equivalent to the HobbyInsider boards slam a guy or the NHL when a Russian opts to leave there and play over here? So why do people feel the need the slam somebody over here when they do it? I say good for him, because quite frankly, the NHL nowadays isn't all everybody makes it out to be. If I were in his shoes, I'd do the exact same thing.

Agreed 100% Take the money and run!
