Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 297: The Lineup And Its Future

It’s late July, and the Dallas Stars are in submarine mode: making moves in the deep that we can’t see or fully explain yet. And yet they’re still giving us plenty to talk about, so it seems like the perfect time to call for backup.

Friend of DBD and recurring Celebrity Guest Juraj Kralik is here again, and this time he joins both Wes and Mark to think about the future. In this edition, they talk about why the blueline might be in better shape than we think, how two stacked forward lines could carry the offense, what to look for in the Gulutzan System, and a whole lot more.

Forget losing Jason Robertson: What if the Stars got his brother, too? We’re Stargazing, and we’re all for having both Radek Faksa and Faksa Lite (a.k.a. Oskar Bäck). Let’s talk about it in the comments.

And please give the cast a rate, review or share while you’re thinking about it. We love you. Thanks.

Goals (In Net) – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

If there's one thing the Dallas Stars don't have to worry about, it's their tandem in net. But what do fans expect to see from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith in 2026-27? In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark talk about the synergy between the net and the blueline, the importance of staying healthy (and how much that's worth paying for), the factors that stats can't seem to capture, the Him vs. Dog of it all, and ever so much more. Really, who cares about save percentage? We're Stargazing, and we'd rather get credit for the wins. Let’s talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Stargazing. We love you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
