from Marc Engel of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram,
Much like their first round series against Minnesota, the Stars moved on against Seattle for the same reason. They’re the better team.
The Game 7 victory they celebrated on Monday night was was won years ago. Not on the ice. In the front office.
It was won by Stars GM Jim Nill, and team owner Tom Gaglardi for giving him the space, money, and time to build a team that can win the Stanley Cup.
Drafting and developing young players like starting goalie Jake Oettinger.Drafting Heiskanen, who is one of the NHL’s top defenseman. Drafting forward Wyatt Johnston, a first round pick in 2021 who scored the Stars second goal on Monday night.
"That was definitely one of the better birthday gifts,” said Johnson, who did score the goal on his birthday. He looks 13, and ... he may actually be 13. (He’s 20).
Drafting winger Jason Robertson, who has struggled to score goals this postseason but has contributed more offense than he’s been given credit.

I think the Wings amateur scouting took a bit of a hit when Joe McDonnell went with Jim Nill.
