But he wasn't the right man for this job - and with a new general manager in place, the Stars will now look for a new coach to go with him.

WFAA sports blogger Josh Lile has his own take on who in the NHL should take home some hardware for their play this past season.

But WFAA blogger Josh Lile maintains there's one squad in this year's tournament that stands out above the rest.

WFAA blogger Josh Lile gets into what led to the decision to move on from Nieuwendyk.

But for a young team stockpiling talented prospects, it was the correct move.

And if early results are any indication, they may have finally found one. And he's only going to get better.

Glen Gulutzan knows it. The Stars players know it. The entire NHL knows it. If you put pressure on the Stars' defense, good things will happen. Not for the Stars.

And make no mistake about it: the improved defensive zone play of the blue line is spearheading the effort.
