Still, Radulov (okay ya Zherdev as well, he's the guy I forgot) is the only one that did the actual bolt even though he was good enough to be a real star in the league. Filatov wasn't good enough, Babchuk wasn't good enough, and Kostitsyn had 8 solid NHL years before he left, not sure how you can say he's a player that bolted to the KHL.
