As we wait for the Red Wings' Friday practice to begin, the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner penned a superb article about Tomas Tatar's role with the Grand Rapids Griffins, and Deadline Detroit's Rebecca Powers profiled Fox Sports Detroit analyst Darren Eliot, but a short interview Dallas Stars GM and former Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill gave to the Fan 590...

Stars in no hurry to fill vacant coaching position
FRISCO, Texas-- It's hard to judge Jim Nill as the Dallas Stars' General Manager seeing how he's only been on the job for just over two weeks, but considering that the 55-year-old career hockey man is taking his time and using an approach to finding a replacement for now-former head coach Glen Gulutzan, who along with top assistant Paul Jerrard was relieved of his duties...

Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: Gulutzan Fired
As soon as the Dallas Stars made the decision to relieve Joe Nieuwendyk of his general manager duties, the die was cast for new general manager Jim Nill to bring in a new head coach rather than exercise its contractual option to bring Glen Gulutzan back for a third season.
Earlier today, the news became official. The Stars have fired the 41-year-old Gulutzan, along with assistant...

Stars fire head coach Glen Gulutzan, will Horachek become a candidate again?
Moments ago, the hockey world learned that Glen Gulutzan, now-former head coach of the Dallas Stars, had been terminated from his job. As the ball was dropped, the first thing that comes to my mind is Nashville Predators Associate Coach Peter Horachek.
In the previous head coaching search for the Stars, Horachek was one of four candidates in the running. While he was not the coach...

2013 Season Review: Defensemen and Goalies
Alex Goligoski
I mentioned before the season started that this (half) year was going to the critical year in Goose’s Stars’ career. He had been getting a lot of grief (a lot) because of the trade that sent James Neal away. Out of all the players on the team, he was the one who was going to have to step up the most.
Four months later, I’d have to say that Goose stepped...
2013 Season Review: The rest of the forwards
Erik Cole
Erik Cole came to Dallas as part of that much-maligned Michael Ryder trade about a month into the season. He was working as a second/third liner in Montreal and took that same role with Dallas, ostensibly replacing Brenden Morrow.
On the ice, Cole had some nice games here and there, but he really failed to impress in his short time with the Stars. He had a bunch...

2013 Season Review: The (Original) Top-Six Forwards
Jamie Benn
It was a bit of a weird year for everyone’s favorite future captain. Benn missed the first five games of the season due to his contract issues and arrived on the team without having played with Jaromir Jagr or Ray Whitney, guys he would center for much of the year.
Those chemistry issues were quickly put to rest, mostly due to Jagr’s ability to click with his...
Dallas Stars Hire GM Jim Nill
One significant story I haven't written about yet that occurred at the end of the regular season is the change in general managers in Dallas. Joe Nieuwendyk was fired. He was hired in 2009 and never managed to qualify for the playoffs. He was a prime example of a star player who was rushed into a position above his qualifications and struggled there. In fact when he was...
Dallas Stars desperately needed new leadership
Joe Nieuwendyk never got the Dallas Stars back into the playoffs. This is why he is no longer general manager of the once-mighty franchise.“I’m very proud of what we accomplished,” he told the Dallas Morning News. “I know you get measured on getting to the playoffs and challenging for Stanley Cups, but I feel we’ve made a lot of progress in four years. I feel good about...
Bag of Pucks: Nill in, Nieuwendyk out for Stars
It was a bizarre night on Saturday evening when the Stars were playing out the string against Detroit in an arena full of red and equally of defeat for anyone who loves hockey in Dallas.
For what seems like the umpteenth time in a row, the Stars fight and claw and come up short. Actually, it was only the 5th season in a row, but after they spoiled us by showing success virtually...

With the era of Joe Nieuwendyk as general manager of the Dallas Stars officially coming to an end on Sunday with the announcement that he had been relieved of his duties, it's time to reflect on what exactly the now-former GM accomplished or didn't accomplish during his time at the helm of the Stars front office.
