The Dallas Stars aren’t the first team to try and bring back a coach who previously won them a Stanley Cup; last year the Ducks did the same thing when they brought back Randy Carlyle, who led the franchise to their first and only cup back in 2007.

Even the Great One himself has high expectations for Dallas this season:
"I think it's a wonderful fit," Gretzky said.
