Gorton has more influence than being given credit for, he hired Bobrov for a reason too.No I don't know that GM's yield to their scouts in the end cause I know of many many cases where they didn't do that. From what I understand some GMs are much more involved with scouting then others like Gainey who didn't so much scouting or Andre Savard who did a lot of scouting. From what I understand, often the GM is more involved with the 1st/2nd round and then turn it over to the scouts.
With Hughes as GM who knows how much input he has on scouting? Gorton in those draft vids I really wonder how much say he has because he didn't look too sure of his scouts when he asked them if they were really sure that was their guy. He at least in the vid didn't look like someone that had the final say as clearly someone has to have the final say when you have a GM, Gorton, and 2 head scouts.
Lapointe is the only guy they kept from the old regime I believe. I think Gorton as a former Bruins loved Lapointe way of thinking/attitude.
I still do not think they have 'a type'. Another guy in the shadow is the analytic guy he is very important but less exposed.
