After pushing the hockey management envelope two years ago with
the first co-general manager setup, Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks
went with a more conservative approach Sunday, naming Joe
Nieuwendyk as the new general manager.
The playoff MVP of the Stars' 1999 Stanley Cup championship,
Nieuwendyk, 42, has 20 years of NHL playing experience –
seven with the Stars – and was in the front office of the
Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs for the past two
years.
"He's intelligent, he's experienced, he's meticulous, he's
somebody who people have compared to Bob Gainey," Hicks said. "He's
had the opportunity to see how the job is done with two different
teams, and he has been a player on three different teams that have
won Stanley Cups, so I believe he's more than prepared for this
opportunity."
