FRISCO, Texas – Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that Steve Greeley has been hired as Director of Hockey Strategy/Scouting and Development. 

 

In this role, Greeley, 41, will oversee the club’s scouting and analytics initiatives, and its application to evaluating player personnel decisions at both the amateur and professional levels. He previously served as Assistant General Manager for the Buffalo Sabres from 2017-2020.
