Frisco, Texas – Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill signed a two-year contract extension less than a month after being named GM of the year following the team's run to the Western Conference Final.

The deal announced Monday would keep Nill with the Stars through the 2025-26 season. The 65-year-old Nill, who spent nearly 20 years in management roles with the Detroit Red Wings and won four Stanley Cups in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008, has said he hopes to work out a succession plan with owner Tom Gaglardi.
