Jim Nill was one of the busiest general managers in the NHL this summer, as he made over the coaching staff and the roster. Here are the new faces in Dallas this season:
Head coach Ken Hitchcock: Already the all-time franchise leader in coaching wins, Hitchcock is one shy of catching Al Arbour (782) for third on the NHL all-time wins list.
Assistant coach Rick Wilson: Returns after seven years away from the organization. The defensive assistant originally moved with the team from Minnesota in 1993 and served 17 years with the Stars franchise.
