GRAND RAPIDS - Todd Nelson, after spending three days mulling an offer with the Dallas Stars, reached the conclusion that being an assistant coach with the Dallas Stars in the NHL out-weighed staying as coach with the Grand Rapids Griffins at this point of his career.
"I felt that I've accomplished what I want to accomplish here. I came to Grand Rapids to win a Calder Cup, which we did, and I wanted to re-establish myself as a head coach - a good head coach - and I felt I did that over the past three years," Nelson said in an interview Thursday with MLive.
