So I created an AHL award.
Years ago, I had the idea to recognize great AHL players who aren't on NHL contracts. Today, a group of league media is launching The Bruce Boudreau Award.
The highlight was an interview with Boudreau. I'm incredibly proud to finally get this out.

Multiple things can be true.
Glen Gulutzan has coached the Stars before. He's also making less money than Pete DeBoer was.
Those are facts. But calling it a lazy hire, is well, lazy.

Here's Why the Stars Hired Glen Gulutzan
It isn't because he's safe. Or that the contract is cheap. It's because Jim Nill believes in the power of change—and that might be the biggest risk Dallas' general manager has taken.
