The Stars showed Monday they are in "win now" mode, signing Alexander Radulov to a five-year contract that averages $6.25 million.
Radulov, 30, is a talented right wing who has battled some controversy in his career, but showed last season in his return to the NHL that he has matured quite a bit. After bouncing back and forth between the NHL and the KHL, Radulov signed one-year deal with Montreal to prove he could be a viable NHL'er. He tallied 54 points (18 goals, 36 assists) in 76 games and added seven points in six playoff games (two goals, five assists).
