Radulov will skate on Montreal's second line, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov is the latest in a string of offseason forward acquisitions general manager Marc Bergevin has made, and the GM's hoping Radulov performs better than P.A. Parenteau, Danny Briere, Zack Kassian or Alexander Semin. He'll be skating with Tomas Plekanec at center and Andrew Shaw on left wing. The trio are brand new to each other, so they'll need to foster chemistry, but the parts are there. Shaw's an agitator, Plekanec's a passer, and Radulov is a scorer.
