Jim Montgomery will be the newest head coach of the Dallas Stars. At least, that’s what the rumor mill has been swirling around since Wednesday afternoon.
Ever since Ken Hitchcock announced his retirement from coaching in a letter on April 13, GM Jim Nill has been on the hunt. The Dallas Stars needed a new coach for the second time in one year and Nill had to come up with an answer. And it needed to be a pretty stellar answer.
The Stars missed the playoffs for the second season in a row in 2017-18 after a monumental collapse to close the year.
