Since he was Blues property before the deadline I'm gonna say probably?

yes, his KHL season is done and the Blues owned his rights when he went to the KHL, so he can join them immediately. He'll play for the pro-rated salary that an arbitrator awarded him back then ($2.7m) this weekend and in the playoffs, the new three year contract then kicks in this summer.

Nice addition for them

I hope he Radulov's them and stay's out really late one night and poisons the entire organization forever. Screw the Blues.

Love watching this guy play

Such a good two way center, and wicked in the dot.

Nice piece to add for the playoffs.
