How will Hitchcock fill coaching staff?

Ken Hitchcock, the only coach to lead Dallas to a Stanley Cup, came back to the Stars as head coach on April 13.

There was much fanfare (and honestly shock from this writer) that GM Jim Nill went back to a name from yesteryear to lead his young Stars.

Outside from the Ben Bishop deal earlier in May, Dallas has remained relatively quiet. More surprisingly, little has been said about the coaching staff that would surround Hitchcock.

Assistant coach James Patrick was shown the door along with former head coach Lindy Ruff following a disastrous season - one day after the season ended to be exact.
