TORONTO -- With Brett Hull now officially inducted into the Hall
of Fame, the Dallas Stars could find another one of their all-time
greats giving an acceptance speech a year from now.
Former Stars center and current general manager Joe Nieuwendyk
will be eligible for nomination for the first time next year, along
with former Stars players Eric Lindros and Pierre Turgeon. Lindros
finished his career in Dallas in 2006-07, while Turgeon toiled in
Big D for three years starting in 2001.
With his credentials, Nieuwendyk will undoubtedly get in. Whether
it's in 2010 or afterwards is the question. The MVP of the 1999
Stanley Cup playoffs, Nieuwendyk's accomplishments are plentiful,
including helping three different teams (Dallas, Calgary and New
Jersey) to Stanley Cup championships.
