Really good point. I hadn’t thought of that.
You’re right, you’d think the Stars wouldn’t worry about missing the playoffs next season. But you never know - NHL GMs are pretty conservative. Even though it’s low odds, if DAL did miss the playoffs and then the traded pick won the lottery, it would probably define Nill’s legacy.
