GM Alan Nelson made some bold statements earlier today at a press confrence, here are Nelson's comments when asked where the team will be gonig in the new season.
" Well, i'm gonig to be quite honest with you. Rebuilding. ( pause ) rebuilding, is the way im taking this team. I'm keeping 1 or 2 vets, that's all. I wouldnt be surprised if I gut every position, if not completly, half the positions will be refilled with youthful bodies. Im looking at getting a young defence core, rebuilt to my satisfactory standards. I'll keep 2 guy's i think will serve well in the back end. As you saw yesterday, i brought in Timo, who is one of the best Offensive D-men in the leauge right now. He will anchor our power play, and help our yonugsters out. Matt Niskanen will also be staying here in Dallas. He's such a poised young man, lot's of poetenial, he keeps out of pentaly trouble, smart with the puck, hes basically got it all.
Reporter: " Mr. Nelson, what will you be donig with players in the forward position, such as Modano,Morrow and such ? "
Nelson: " Well, Modano, is staying. He is such a great leader, on the ice & off. Our young bodies that will come in, will beneifit very, very well from Mr. America. Morrow, is such a powerfull person on the ice. So we will be looking to keep him.
" Now, i must be leaving now, i have a plane to catch for a league meeting. thanks to all , hope to see you all soon again."
Nelson's word's were keen on keeping the people he thought would help bring this team to the winner's circle.
More to come later on...
