  • Get a stats guy on your team

    I started listening to DLLS during the pre-season and really appreciated their discussions then, as they helped me get oriented with the team/expectations for the season as a new Stars fan. They are the only Dallas Stars podcast that posts content regularly with decent production quality, which means they hold a sort of monopoly on discussions around the team.

    As the season has gone on, though, it’s become clear to me that their main source of data for discussion is their eye test. It appears t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EJ Hradek Weighs In on Robo's Future
Q: What are the main considerations for Dallas if they keep Jason Robertson versus trading him?
The main considerations are cap space and the ability to replace his production with multiple players or a combination of players and picks, while addressing the left-wing hole with enough top-six talent to remain competitive.
NHL Network Host EJ Hradek Breaks Down Jason Robertson's Contract & Brady Tkachuk Trade
Q: Could a sign-and-trade or second-round pick exchange realistically net Dallas a replacement for Robertson?
Yes, the conversation repeatedly returns to two-parts: securing a high-end asset via a second-overall pick or using a pair of picks plus a player to land a top forward, while also pursuing additional pieces to fill the left-wing gap and maintain competitiveness.
NHL Network Host EJ Hradek Breaks Down Jason Robertson's Contract & Brady Tkachuk Trade
Q: What are the Stars' best options if Jason Robertson signs elsewhere or is moved?
The guests discuss several routes, including trading for top picks and then using those assets to acquire multiple players, signing or drafting high-impact forwards like Matthew Nyes, and considering a defenseman upgrade, all while balancing cap space and the team's competitive window.
How Today's Stars Compare to Hitch's Stars
Q: Hitch, were there specific things that you were looking for, listening to, hearing conversations that you kind of go, now they're getting it?
Yes, the transformation starts with the leadership group, expands to the rest of the team, and requires the group to grow and take ownership through ongoing meetings and inclusive discussions that move the core group onto the floor and into the locker room.
How Today's Stars Compare to Hitch's Stars
Q: Hitch, this is, we got time, Ryan, before, okay. So this is probably going to be an important sound bite.
It kicks off a discussion about the current window for winning and how to push a team over the top by embracing difficult tasks, increasing accountability, and building a culture that demands high standards from both leadership and players.
