Coach Dave Tippett, as well as Rick Wilson and Mark Lamb received a one-year contract extension this morning, which will put them through the end of next season. Ulf Dahlen was offered the same, but he apparently wants to wait until the summer to assess next season.
The Stars are certainly pointed in the right direction right now, and Tip has been a strong influence on this team.
I know, the Stars still need to do something in the postseason. I agree. And this year is critical. But I still like this move.
More to come.
Note to all team owners: Don't negotiate contracts during the season. Remember the Knicks giving Isiah Thomas an extension during the middle of last season? Boy, did the Knick-a-buckers head south. By no means am I trying to compare the Stars and Knicks. The Stars are on another level compared to the Pink-Slip Knicks, right now. If I was Tom Hicks, I would like Tippett to win a playoff series before offering him a contract extension.
