I understand it's hard to evaluate the season ticket question and I appreciate your thoughts. The Stars allow season seat holders to trade in preseason games for additional regular season games (which I did for 2 of the 3 games). I'm not sure if other teams have a similar policy. There are so many little things that can impact a game experience. I'm sure it is extremely variable from team to team.
Ex-Stars players that have moved on and done well: I would definitely count Reilly Smith and Mats Zuccarello in that category. But do you count Ryan Hartman since we had him a few days over the summer and never played for Dallas? But for a guy we waived, he has played very well.
with Zuccarello and Smith, it's important to remember they were moved or left because the Stars made another move. Smith was obviously traded for Seguin, Zuccarello let walk so Dallas could keep first round pick and sign Pavelski. I also don't count Hartman because he was never going to stay in Dallas, he was basically on Dallas books for 2 days in a cap clearing move

The exclusion of GR8 on the generational player list shot my wheels off so hard, I couldn't think straight through the rest of the article.
haha, I set a very high bar for generational. Ovechkin is the next name right there and probably should/could have been included on that list.
