Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill signed a two-year contract on Tuesday to remain with the team.
A recipient of the Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award in each of the past three seasons, Nill is now under contract with the Stars through the 2027-28 season.
Nill, 67, has served as Dallas’ general manager since 2013. The Stars reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2020 and the Western Conference finals in each of the last three seasons.
“I’m fortunate to work with incredibly talented and passionate individuals that have helped our franchise become one of the best in the NHL,” Nill said. “I’m extremely grateful to have the opportunity to continue as general manager of the Stars. My family and I would like to thank (Stars owner) Tom Gaglardi for his continued support as we look to bring the Stanley Cup back to Dallas.”
The Stars (44-18-12, 100 points) reside in second place in the Western Conference.
“Jim has established himself as one of the most respected general managers in the NHL,” Gaglardi said. “Through his roster management and talent evaluation, he has positioned our franchise to be amongst the best teams in our League in both the present and future. I’m thrilled that he will continue to guide the Stars.”
