At least for the here and now, the Predators have some closure regarding the Alexander Radulov saga. The team saw to that Tuesday, suspending the 22-year-old forward indefinitely without pay for the 2008-09 season, but questions remain about his future with the Predators as well as the relationship between Russian hockey and the NHL. General Manager David Poile said he believes Radulov, the team's first-round draft pick in 2004, will return to the NHL at some point. Should Radulov indeed choose to come back, the NHL has assured the Predators that his contract status will remain the same as it is today -- and that he will have moved no closer to unrestricted free agency.

By the sounds of it they'll wait till he makes his millions then welcome him back with open arms. Way to make an example Bettman you ****.

He's on suspension? Isnt that like telling an employee that he's fired right after he's said "i quit". Semantics. I cant wait for this guy to come crawling back to the NHL.

The Leafs will make the play-offs!

Forget that guy. He's gone. No one is going to deal with his problematic self. After dealing with "Pacman" for so long in this town, Nashville has no love for trouble making players. He'll never play here again.
