Report: Red Wings hesitant to sign Radulov to multi-year deal

The Detroit Red Wings want to sign Alexander Radulov, but only on their terms.

The team is reportedly concerned about the Russian forward's off-ice demeanor, and would like to sign him to a one-year contract worth between $4 million and $5 million, according to MLive.com's Ansar Khan. The Red Wings believe a one-year contract would "limit their risk."

Radulov, who confirmed in April he will return to the NHL next season, is believed to be seeking a two-year contract.

The 30-year-old has played his entire NHL career with the Nashville Predators, leaving twice for the KHL in 2008 and 2012.

His second stint - lasting just 17 games between the 2011-12 regular season and playoffs - ended on a sour note, where he and teammate Andrei Kostitsyn were suspended by the Predators for a playoff game after breaking curfew.

Radulov finished second in KHL scoring this season with CSKA Moscow, recording 65 points in 53 games.
