Radulov contributed a pair of shots and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Through five games with the Stars, Radulov is still looking for his first goal with the new club.

He played 20:21 in Saturday's game with 6:03 coming on the power play.

Radulov played the most minutes of any forward in Monday's preseason loss to Colorado. He was also a big part of the power play.
EDGE Analysis
Radulov has been seeing minutes on a top line that features Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. If that role sticks, his value rises. Playing alongside some of the league's top talent would be a boon for Radulov owners. He should also benefit from time on the top power-play unit, which may get heavy use.

Radulov signed a five-year contract with the Stars on Monday worth an average annual value of $6.25 million, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Radulov adds an instant boost to the Stars offense as he will likely suit up on the top line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. After returning from the KHL, the 30-year-old put up an impressive 18-goal, 36-assist season with the Canadiens. The former 15th overall pick almost certainly log time on the power play where he averaged 2:51 of ice time last season and recorded 16 points with the man advantage.

Radulov was not signed during the inception of free agency Saturday, NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported a little over a week ago that Radulov is seeking a six-year deal valued at $7 million annually, which effectively ruled out an extension from the Canadiens, who had him under contract at $5.75 million -- with $3 million in signing bonus included -- for the 2016-17 season. The Russian playmaker notched 54 points (18 goals, 36 assists) in 76 games last season, and he managed to keep a level head after hearing that other teams shied away from him based on character issues stemming from the 2011-12 season. He was playing for the Predators at the time, and reportedly burned bridges with Predators executives, in addition to getting suspended during the second round of the playoffs for breaking curfew.

Radulov was made available by the Canadiens for Wednesday's expansion draft, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Radulov is coming off a very strong season in Montreal, totaling 54 points in 76 appearances in 2016-17. The 30-year-old signed just a one-year deal with the franchise, however, so he is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. If selected by the Golden Knights, Radulov and the team would have to agree to a new contract by July 1, but if not, he would be on the open market and free to sign a deal with the team of his choice.

Radulov won't play for Team Russia in the upcoming World Championships, Dave Stubbs of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the playoffs over for the Habs, Radulov could have competed, but chose not to due to a lack of a contract next season. With 54 points in 76 games, including 16 points on the power play, whether the winger sticks with Montreal or goes elsewhere, he should be on most players' fantasy radar.

Radulov scored an unreal one-handed goal and added an assist in Sunday's Game 3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Radulov has played a huge role in back-to-back victories for the Habs, scoring twice and adding three assists. The top-line winger is playing with passion and intensity and appears determined to help lead the Habs onto the second round. He finished the regular season strong and has carried that play into the postseason, making him a dynamic fantasy threat.

Radulov scored the game-winning goal, added two assists, registered six shots on net, took two minor penalties and threw seven hits during Friday's Game 2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old Russian left it all on the ice and had a huge fantasy outing in Game 2. He's a go-to player for the Habs, and his physical engagement and high shot volume are clear signs that Radulov intends to leave his mark on this series because his talent has never been in question.

Radulov (rest) won't travel to Detroit for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Red Wings, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.
EDGE Analysis
When Radulov decided to return to the NHL ahead of this 2016-17 campaign, some general managers shied away from him due to character issues from the past, but he's kept it cool with nice returns for fantasy owners that took a chance on him. His regular-season campaign included 18 goals and 36 assists with 16 points on the man advantage over 76 games. .
