If Joe Nieuwendyk brings only a fraction of the heart, soul,
intelligence, skill and dedication to the front office that he
brought to the rink in his 20-year NHL career, he'll be an
overwhelming success.
Nieuwendyk, 42, was named the Dallas Stars' general manager
Sunday, replacing co-general managers Brett Hull and Les Jackson,
who have been reassigned to other positions in the club's
management.
Nieuwendyk is a three-time Stanley Cup winner, with the 1989
Calgary Flames, 1999 Dallas Stars and 2003 New Jersey Devils. He
was named the 1999 Conn Smythe Trophy winner after scoring a
league-leading 11 goals and adding 10 assists for 21 points in 23
Stanley Cup Playoff games. Nieuwendyk played seven seasons for the
Stars, from 1985-2002.
