Since Jim Nill took over as general manager in 2013, July 1 has become a pretty busy day for the Dallas Stars.
Whether it’s re-signing young players or depth pieces for the team, landing a big trade, or bringing in some of the top names on the free agent market, Nill rarely spends the opening day of NHL Free Agency on a quiet note.
Such was the case on July 1, 2019 when Nill signed Joe Pavelski, Corey Perry, and Andrej Sekera to contracts in an effort to help bolster the Stars’ offensive attack, defensive depth, and veteran leadership.
