Everyone knows that the Stars were pretty busy this past offseason. When you list all their moves in one place, though, it’s really eye-opening just how much Jim Nill has done in the last few months.
-April: Hired Ken Hitchcock
-June: Lost Cody Eakin to Vegas. Acquired Marc Methot from Vegas. Signed Esa Lindell to a two-year deal
My fingers are kind of sore from typing all of that out. As Nill notes, however, winning the summer months doesn’t necessarily translate to winning actual games:
“We’re happy with the off-season, but in the end, we got to get to a point where we’re consistently in the playoffs,” Nill said.
