Welcome Back Raddy!

I don't doubt for a second that Radulov is returning because of two reasons. One is because the Preds seem like they are going to make the playoffs. The other reason is to get out of his NHL contract and get a new one that will pay him a boat load of cash (which believe me some GM's will do, after all look at Grabovski's 5.5 mil/yr deal).

It woul be nice to see him fall in love with Nashville and resign like Nabokov did with the Isles and I think the Preds believe that can happen, but only Radulov can predict that one.


Either way, welcome back Radulov and here is hoping you stick around this time instead of running away from your obligations!

Trade Bait and other pick-ups

Well my Tigers fell short of making it to the World Series, but there was some consolation in my fantasy baseball team upset a few teams and made it to the finals. I ended up losing on the last day but I earned a few bucks which allowed me to have some eBay fun.

I decided to go hunting for some deals and here is what I picked up. Some good trade bait and a few things I was looking for.

10-11 ITG Decades Auto - Wayne Babych

10-11 Score Rookie Update Box Set
Been wanting this for a few months. My auto hit was a decent prospect, Jordan Caron.

10-11 ITG Decades Auto - Wally Weir

10-11 ITG Heroes and Prospects Auto - Matt Puempel
Puempel is off to a great start with 11 goals in 18 games.

06-07 Sweet Shot Rookie - Evgeni Malkin
These rookies are seriously undervalued!

98-99 BAP Auto - Pierre Turgeon
Pierre will likely be a Hall of Famer and a great addition to the collection.

07-08 Sweet Shot Auto - Alexander Radulov
Love these autos. I would buy them all day for 99 cents a piece.

I also picked up a 90-91 Wayne Gretzky UD Promo. I will save those scans for a later date.
