Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill has been swinging for the fences lately, and so far, he's hitting nothing but jacks.
Nill's successful offseason continued Monday with the signing of prize free-agent winger Alexander Radulov to a five-year, $31.25-million deal. The Stars already boast some of the best offensive talent in the league in Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, so it's understandable that he's excited about his crop of forwards.
"To add a forward of this stature to our lineup makes our top six as deep and talented as any group in this league," Nill said Monday.
The trio of offensive studs may not line up together on every shift, but they'll be expected to combine for a ton of points while giving opposing goalies nightmares.
If Dallas can find some form of consistent goaltending, which should be a lot easier with Ben Bishop in town and Antti Niemi now a Penguin, its depth up front should be enough to push the team back into the postseason for only the third time in a decade.
