“We like where we’re at.”
It’s a phrase oft said by Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill in years past when the team has not made anything other than minor depth moves at the trade deadline, preferring to dance with the lineup that got him there. For some fans, it’s a death knell — a white flag on trying to improve the team beyond what has been seen to that point in the season, even if some obvious (to them) flaws exist in the lineup. For others, it’s white noise — just words said to appease the media asking the questions, preferring to see what his actions say instead.
