Dallas won 108 points this campaign, their best achievement since 15-16, and took part in the West Conference final for the 2nd time in 4 years.
Nill signed manager Peter DeBoer as he is very successful in his 1st season with Stars.
Sweeney was part of the record-breaking Boston Bruins, but the franchise was eliminated in the 1st round after the phenomenal regular season.
Zito saw Florida Panthers to clinch the playoffs in the last moment, but now they are very close to reaching the Stanley Cup final.
