With the Dallas Stars set to take on the newest NHL franchise, the Vegas Golden Knights, on October 6th, the team is coming into its own in terms of roster structure. This, of course, would not be possible without the amazing work of Jim Nill and the front office over the off-season.
From the first day of the 2017 off-season on (literally; the Stars announced that Lindy Ruff had been relieved of head coaching duties 14 hours after their last game), Nill has been hard at work to field a team that replicates the success of the 2015-16 Central Division champions.
