On Tuesday, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun shed some light on reactions to Alexander Radulov's return to the NHL. The Russian forward is projected to soon become a member of the Nashville Predators, something a few NHLers weighed in on.

Washington's Joel Ward said Radulov would be "an asset" while Alex Ovechkin said he's "probably the biggest star" in the KHL. One of the most intriguing responses, though, came from Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk.
