Predators want Radulov back

From John Glennon of the Tennessean:

Both Predators Coach Barry Trotz and team captain Jason Arnott say they want Radulov to return for the coming season, but they are aware some baggage might come with him.

“When you back out on your deal and you let your teammates and the whole organization down like that, it’s hard to swallow — no question,” Arnott said. “I can’t sugarcoat it any better. It’s disappointing.

“But if he does come back and play with us, hopefully he comes back with a good mind and be ready to play. If he does that, I think guys will forget about it. If he comes back with the attitude that it’s his last year here and he doesn’t really care, then it’s going to be a long year. It’s going to be tough.”
