Calling Jim Nill an unpredictable general manager can be a pretty fair accusation. And since manning his first offseason as GM of the Dallas Stars in 2013, it’s easy to see why.
Since that summer, the Stars have become one of the centerpiece teams at the table of landmark NHL acquisitions. No longer did Dallas dabble in an offseason and add a few small names or veteran talents that were past their prime. When Nill took the helm, that all changed.
It’s not unlikely to see the Dallas Stars take a swing at landing a superstar player each offseason.
