Report: Radulov's latest contract ask was 6 years, $7M per season

Alexander Radulov appears to be looking for Dr. Evil money.

Radulov, who will turn 31 on July 5, asked the Canadiens for a six-year deal at $7 million per season, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.

It's difficult to imagine Montreal, or any team, paying a good but not great winger $7 million per season long term as they head into their mid-30s.

In his first season back from the KHL, Radulov scored 18 goals and tallied 54 points in 76 games with the Habs. Again, good, but not great.

In comparison, when the Habs traded for Jonathan Drouin, they inked him to a six-year deal worth $5.5 million per year. He had 53 points in 73 games last season and is just 22 years old.
