I think Alexander Radulov would help a lot of teams but, among those rumored to have interest, I think the Florida Panthers would be the best fit.

Radulov would add yet another layer of offense to the NHL's 8th highest scoring team and he's also a guy who drums up excitement and puts fans in the seats.

I don't think the Panthers are too far off from being true contenders in the East. Acquiring a top-6 forward without giving up anyone on their roster - or within the system - would put them one step closer.

The best fit for Radulov- oh the KHL. No seriously, the KHL. Look he's a talented player, lots of skill and plenty to like but is he ready for the NHL now? Has he learned, has he decided he's ready to take on the approach to be successful in the NHL?

That's the bigger issue here not who is the best fit. However that's the question. Does a task master coach like Therrien make sense, or Babcock? What about Julien or Quenneville or Ruff? It would seem to me that he needs a place to play his game but with a coach who can 'get' him and put him in the right situation. Vancouver? What about LA?

The problem with Radulov is you have to get beyond the reputation and the history and it will take a good GM And coach to break through and pull out the talent from him. In all honesty I see more situations that could be bad than good right now but something says 'Florida' to me. Go south young man.
