Saad always kinda had his foot half in/half out with hockey even during the season and with The Athletic basically collapsing, he's keeping a job. Not really shocked.
Pretty soon the Stars are gonna end up only being covered by a handful of fan blogs like the old days.

Yeah he wasn’t cut out for hockey journalism anyway. He just parroted what he read on Twitter. Nothing of value lost.
It's wild to me that American sports Franchises like the Stars that are worth an incredible amount of money can barely get any coverage. Maybe I'm underestimating the coverage (I live in Euroland afterall) but it seems like we're barely mentioned even by the local media, and we're definetly an afterthought in the wider hockey world.
The team can get 16000+ to regularly fill their stadium so it doesn't seem that unpopular.
Just something I've been thinking about the last year or so. Would be interesting to get insight from the local fans on this.

it's bc that coverage doesn't generate any revenue. an article on the cowboys will get 100x the number of clicks, and that's what you need in order to pay the writer's salary and still make the business some profit.
Microcosm of a way bigger problem my dude. It’s not related to sports or the Stars at all. It’s the bottom line and everyone’s on the hot seat nowadays in media/entertainment. Not enough money to go around for bullshit jobs or half-assed work, and that’s most of media and entertainment to begin with lol. You’ll start to see this more and more over the next few years.

´With Bergeron retired and if nobody signs Staal ( or he doesn't score all that many points ) there's a decent chance Pavelski becomes the 2003 class scoring leader and will finish as that. Hell of an accomplishment as a 7th round pick.

While this was definitely true early on the dude had a tough road considering he didn’t have much history with hockey and couldn’t be in the locker room for the first couple years. I thought he did pretty well once he was able to actually have face-to-face interviews. Not the greatest hockey insights certainly but also we were spoiled by Shapiro
You guys should have bought out Suter and gone after EK65. Marchment, prospect, 1st and 3rd or something. I’d love to see Pavelski and Karl both get Cups before finishing their careers, and the Cup go to TX again.

There is no world where the Stars could've ever fit EK's caphit in without sending the Sharks contracts back they really don't want.
It's become pretty clear Stars management doesn't think they can really fix the defense in the offseason so they doubled down on forward depth and will roll with what they have and maybe get to the fixing during next season.

Suter will never be scratched
Fans should be upset to lose the only writer who traveled with the team to any degree. With no writers actually around the team, coverage will suffer greatly.
