To get the Dallas Stars back to firing on all cylinders, general manager Jim Nill will need yet another year of offseason wizardry. Freeing the Stars of any lingering issues from the Lindy Ruff regime and transitioning to head coach Ken Hitchcock will require new personnel.
With that, Nill could potentially seek out a goaltender in the off-season, such as Scott Darling, Marc-Andre Fleury, or Philipp Grubauer. The defense could use another veteran presence after the successful signing of Dan Hamhuis, such as Andrei Markov or Karl Alzner.
