When asked about the moves made by Dallas Stars GM Jim Nill on Monday, July 1, head coach Jim Montgomery simply smiled and replied:
“Happy 50th birthday to me. Honestly, an unreal job by Jim Nill and everybody associated that helps him. You look at the type of people we’re adding: leadership qualities, veteran presence, and people that know how to score goals, go to the tough areas, and hopefully draw more penalties next year. A lot of positives.”
In many ways, that’s all you could ever hope to hear from the head coach of your favorite team.
