Shocking Twist: Stars Part Ways with DeBoer After Promising 3 Seasons – What’s Next for the Team?
DeBoer’s teams have made the third round of the playoffs six of the past seven seasons and he has guided two teams (Devils, 2012; Sharks, 2016) to the Stanley Cup Final.
“Pete’s going to win a Cup, unfortunately it won’t be here,” Nill said. “He’s a good coach. He learns every time. He’s been fired a few times but I think he’s learning each time when that happens. He’s open-minded like that.”
DeBoer ranks fourth among active coaches and 17th all-time in coaching wins.
Nill said the process for finding a new coach is just beginning, and that it is “wide-ranging.” Neil Graham, coach of Texas, the Stars’ American Hockey League affiliate, is expected to be a candidate, and added Dallas is going to have an open mind about its ultimate decision, with European and Canadian junior hockey coaches all under consideration.
