- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: Alexander Radulov’s Russian agent didn’t deny that he could join the Predators this season when talking with Pavel Lysenkov.
- Pavel Lysenkov via twitter: He could be back with the Predators without clearing waivers. His KHL team is now in the playoffs.
- Bob McKenzie via twitter: If Radulov wants to come back this season, McKenzie thinks it’s subject to NHLPA approval. He would be eligible to play in the regular season and playoffs without waivers.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: The Predators have tried to persistently to bring Radulov back, and the KHL usually responded with more money to keep him. He wouldn’t need to clear waivers “as the NHL and NHLPA would agree to alter the application of this process.” Yes, it sounds sketchy.
