Jim Nill is going to be patient in his search for the Stars' next head coach.
The general manager has a long list of candidates that he would like to pare down in the next couple of weeks before starting interviews in May. Nill said the fact the Flames and Rangers are also seeking a coach, and other teams may join in that quest, will not hurry his process.
"We're aware of the environment and we understand the situation, but we also want to be thorough and take our time," Nill said. "I think the process will be good for us to better understand the candidates, but to also look at ourselves and see where we are as an organization.
