Seguin 'giddy' at chance to play with Radulov

The thought of a more potent offensive attack makes Tyler Seguin a happy man.

Seguin was one of few bright spots in a lost season for the Dallas Stars in 2016-17, recording 72 points in 82 games. However, the Stars made it their mission to improve this summer, and on paper, they did.

First, Dallas replaced Lindy Ruff with Ken Hitchcock at the head coach position, and then improved player personnel in all areas of the ice by bringing in goaltender Ben Bishop, defenseman Marc Methot, and forwards Martin Hanzal and Alexander Radulov.

Based on roster improvements, the Stars' outlook for next season is undoubtedly promising, and it was the signing of Radulov that put Seguin's excitement over the top.

"I was really happy to get a goalie and when we got Hanzal, I thought to myself, that's the forward we probably need and that's going to be huge, but when we topped it off with Radulov, it got me a little giddy. I was definitely excited to see that," Seguin told Dave McCarthy of NHL.com.

Radulov bagged 54 points with the Montreal Canadiens in his return to the NHL last season, and Seguin is hoping to have the hulking power forward playing on his wing going forward.

"Obviously with him playing in the Eastern Conference, you don't see him too much. I'll be honest, I've looked at some YouTube clips and stuff and I can see how good a player he is," Seguin said. "He's so good on the puck, he's a good playmaker, and he's a guy who always has good puck possession numbers. You can see he controls the play so I'm looking forward to that."

Fans of offense will surely look forward to that as well, but the rest of the Western Conference may reserve their excitement.
