Jim Nill, recently awarded the NHL’s General Manager of the Year for the third consecutive season, addressed the media at the Dallas Stars practice facility. He provided updates on the team's ongoing coaching search following the dismissal of Pete DeBoer. Though frontrunners have emerged, Nill is prioritizing thoroughness over speed.

As the July 1 free agency period approaches, Nill indicated that the Stars will be cautious due to limited cap space after securing deals with key players like Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn. Nill emphasized that substantial roster decisions have already been made, leaving the team with a strategic focus on the upcoming draft, where their first pick is 94th overall. His management style aims to build on the team's recent success, including three consecutive Western Conference Finals appearances.
