Genuine Optimism for 14/15

[Otis Driftwood]

Gotta say... Jim Nill has not screwed around since he took charge. And - this offseason has been a pleasure to watch. He's putting some nice pieces in place for the Stars to be serious contenders this season and beyond.

Key this coming season - how good are the kids on the Blue Line? I believe we have two in Nemeth and Klingberg that are locks. And from all indications, Johns is going to step in immediately. I would not be surprised in the least if Nill tries to move Gologoski in order to keep as many of the kids here as possible.

Add to that Niemi actually providing a real alternative to Lehtonen... Sharp on a wing with Seguin and Benn...

I'm stoked for this season!

This team is going to be exciting. Will only be my second season as a Stars fan but I do like what Nill has done, especially getting Oduya as a veteran D man was a real need.

Roll on 8 October

I guess we should change this thread to 2015/16. And yes - they have become exciting. I thank Jim Nill for making my hockey team relevant once again. He earned that contract extension. Every penny.
