How does the start of this Dallas Stars season compare to other years under Jim Nill’s management?
Nill took over before the 2013-14 season, in an offseason that brought about a lot of change for the organization.
That offseason saw Glen Gulutzan go out and Lindy Ruff come in. Brenden Morrow left and Jamie Benn replaced him as captain. Nill made a statement trade and brought in Tyler Seguin. The Victory Green jerseys and branding redesign came that summer to accompany everything else that was new.
The 2013-14 campaign started out 3-5-0, worse than this year, but the Stars returned to the playoffs that season after missing the previous five years.
