Inside the NHL’s Power Brokers: Who Truly Runs the League’s Most Dominant Franchises?
For the third consecutive season, Nill won the Jim Gregory Award, given to the league’s top GM as voted upon by his peers. Voting is completed before the Cup is awarded — and that must be noted, given that the Stars’ season ended in the Western Conference final for the fourth time in six years.
What also must be noted is the respect that Nill’s work commands from other organizations. Dallas’ approach to drafting and developing is, on its own, enough to put them near the top of any list like this, even without winning the ultimate prize. Nill and his team have built a true contender despite rarely drafting from premium spots. They’ve also shown the ability to add premium talent such as Mikko Rantanen on the fly.
