I'm 110% biased because I know most of the people involved in a few markets, but let's play Devil's Advocate here: Who should the Athletic hire to do daily Flames stuff? The media market here was small to begin with, and the buyouts and cutbacks throughout the market have really thinned out the bench. There were a lot of people to choose from in places like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Heck, even Edmonton. A lot less here.
