The New York Post reports that the New York Rangers have allegedly contacted the Nashville Predators about acquiring talented but enigmatic winger Alexander Radulov.

With Marian Gaborik likely to miss the first few months of the season due to shoulder surgery, the Rangers are looking for a dynamic scorer. Radulov certainly fits the bill. The Russian winger is a group II free agent who has a lucrative offer to return to Russia to play in the KHL. However, if a deal can be worked out between the Rangers and Predators, New York has the money and cache to lure Radulov to the Big Apple.
