Shocking Twist: Stars Part Ways with DeBoer After Promising 3 Seasons – What’s Next for the Team?
“Today was a tough day,” Stars general manager Jim Nill said. “I spoke with Pete this morning at 9 o’clock. Great conversation, he was very professional and he understands. We have a good relationship and that’s probably what makes this the hardest.
“I have the utmost respect for him as a person and as a coach. In the end, it’s my responsibility to make a decision that’s the right decision for the organization moving forward.”
No replacement was named.
DeBoer guided Dallas to a 50-26-6 record this season and led the Stars to the Western Conference Final for the third straight season. However, the 56-year-old was critical of goalie Jake Oettinger in a Game 7 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final on May 29, pulling the team’s No. 1 goalie after he allowed two goals on two shots 7:09 into the first period.
