Stars tease Radulov signing by replying to bubble hockey tweet

Alexander Radulov has signed a five-year deal with the Dallas Stars.

In the age of social media, team accounts on Twitter are finding new ways to announce signings.

Case in point: The Dallas Stars.

After reports circulated that both the Stars and Montreal Canadiens were interested in Alexander Radulov, Jamie and Jordie Benn, who play for the Stars and Canadiens, respectively, decided to have some fun with it.

Two days later, the Stars finally chimed in, all but confirming the Radulov signing.

Radulov, 30, is coming off a big year in Montreal, scoring 18 goals and 54 points in 72 games this past season.
