Kroger or Food Lion?
Isn't that what 99.9 said about Mike Maniscalco from Chicago? He pandered so much he ended up working for the team. We'll see, of course, but I'll believe in-depth coverage for hard-core Canes Canes when I see it.
5 bucks on Kyle from New York.
While getting someone local that we already like would be exciting, it also gives you 0 bang for your buck.
I like Cory. I also can read Cory for free any time I want. I’d be ok with Luke, but up until recently I could read him for free as well.
Does everyone here realize that if they’re pushing for someone already established in the market, they’re basically just asking to pay for something they already enjoy for free?
By all indications their list of targets in market was a list of 1: Luke. Not a surprise that they went out of market for this. If it's more stuff like the Burnside inside the draft room article I'm optimistic, but I'm not banking on it.
I'm not picky.
Score goals any way to you care to, Z.
The Athletic would rather hire an out-of-market writer with an established audience than hire a local one with the ability to grow an audience.
I understand that position, and I don't fault them for it, but it is a bit disappointing
FYI Burnside was at Canes training camp a week ago. Probably a insider story brewing again.
I agree with what you are saying. On that note, wasn't his first goal with the Canes last year at even strength when Aho and TT rushed the zone and he received a drop pass in the center of the slot and just buried it?I mean, I'm a little picky in the sense that he can only score just so many goals on the PP and it's harder to just plant in front of the net at ES. I'm all for having a guy in that role, but a little bit of sniping ability would elevate him from being a specialist to a decently rounded offensive threat.
Or they believe there is an untapped audience here who would appreciate an established writer who can write hockey rather than grow a local writer who doesn't have the experience/exposure on the local level.
I think this market actually needs more hockey coverage from those with experience, so I am excited about the fact that it's not The Athletic poaching Luke or Chip and the N&O backfilling.
dear lord, why the hell would you listen to that?Why? All of the guys on the XM hockey station now more about the Canes than Chip or Luke.
