After the end of season in KHL Radulov signed a contract with Dallas Stars during the play offs and he immediately played for them. Is it possible or its a bug?

I don't know, I had the same with Loktionov.

It shouldn't happen. Are you guys playing with the latest update?

Think i also had this with Loktionov.

Post screens on SI forum or upload FTP before that happened. It'll helps devs recognize situation.

A few years ago this happened IRL when he signed for Nashville in April. I don't know if the new CBA prevents this or if the KHL rules have changed since then, but it's happened before and with Radulov himself.

Kasperi Kapanen finished the season with KalPa and got recalled immediately to Wilkes-Barre and is now eligible to play for the Pens in the playoffs. So i assume it´s ok

Kapanen, however, is under contract with the Pens.

Was Radulov an UFA or what?

I think it's based on when a contract's signed. I think that in real life, players signed after the Trade Deadline can't play in the playoffs. That's what happened with Turco a few years ago after he signed for Boston. In other words, Kapanen signed last year so is eligible for the Pens.

Also, wasn't Radulov still on his Entry-Level Contract when he went back to Nashville, meaning he could play in the playoffs. Him going to Russia only suspended the deal?

Either way, I don't think players coming in from abroad are meant to be able to play in the playoffs (unless already contracted).

Stagbeetle has it right, so if these guys are coming in and playing in playoffs after being signed in April that needs to be mentioned on SI boards.

Loktionov was signed in December. But I thought foreigners are only allowed to be signed during the international trade window.
