Between Nill and Treliving we got the stronger talent looking for a promotion, imo.
I don't know if there's a team with more holes than the Stars. The Avs come to mind and so does Arizona.

He's been the GM long enough to fill those holes and has done nothing to fix it.

It was the Dallas GM who said he wasn't 100% at the time. Guess no other team wanted to take the chance.

Where is Greg Nemitz? I keep being reminded of him because Dallas has a Nemeth.

Jim Rome? How? Is it the pauses, the idiots he has on looking to be funny, the constant draining inside jokes? It can't be for anything sports related.

So who will Millions be interviewing tonight when Dougie does his video bomb? My guess is Gio.

Nill let Russel walk away, traded Daley away for peanuts, signed over the hill Hamhuis and Odoya to fill in for number one and two rolls when they are clearly 4/5.

Klingberg is left out to dry, young kid. They messed up big on the back end, and we would be asking for Trelivings head if it was us in this positiion (Like asking to trade Dougie early this season or not resigning Gio)

Gotta hand it to 'ol Crackcorn, he's done well. Sort of amazing he's made himself an NHL career considering his draft position.

Ferland is looking great up on the top line, like he really gained his confidence and feels he deserves to be there, that is excellent for us!
