I mean, technically, they said they were going to audit all aspects of the team, so one could argue that this is just a case of them doing their due diligence, and hires will be made to replace these guys before the next season of scouting commences, but frankly this team has done so much crap that it has lost the benefit of the doubt.
Exactly, they have yet to replace Alfie's position, Bryan Murray's position, Pierre Dorion's AGM position, Tom Anselmi position etc.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
For what it's worth, I heard similar stories albeit unconfirmed, about a month ago. I don't doubt this is true.I don't really buy 6th sens as an insider and he's probably the most negative sens twitter account out there. Ill believe this when I see some actual media reporting on it.

I didn't write that as a pro-melnyk post, I just don't believe anything 6th sens says, no one on sens twitter seems to hate the team more than him. Sens media would definitely report on two scouts getting fired before the draft.If you are waiting on the media to report it, I have news for you, its not happening. The media has blocked the fanbase from basically all anti-Melnyk info for years now. The only reason any of this #MelnykOut stuff got started was because of guys like 6th Sens.
Let the Ottawa media continue to pull the rug over your eyes and ears, this franchise will be ran to the ground very soon. Any member of the Ottawa media who continues to treat this fanbase the way they are should be ashamed of themselves.

Why does it not make sense? They'd have already provided their scouting reports, and done the grunt work. We didn't fire Mann and Ruutu, in all likelihood it was foot soldiers not decision makers. How much input from this point on do would they really have had? It's a Dick move, no doubt, but that seems to be par for the course on the management side these days.It makes absolutely no sense to me that we would pay 2 scouts to work for us for the entire year, and then proceed to fire them before the draft has even happened...
But then again, this is the Senators franchise of 2018, and anything is possible at this point I'd say...

Sens media will never report on this. Too busy shining Melnyk's shoes to report any negative press on the organization.
Agreed, with the recent and bizarre exception of Don Brennan.
So I checked the scouting lists for some of the other teams.
Top 3 revenue teams TML, MTL, NYR, 3 bottom teams BUF, CAR, ARI, also the rest of the Atlantic
TML = 23 Scouts
MTL = 22 Scouts
NYR = 20 Scouts
ARI = 16 Scouts
CAR = 16 Scouts
BOS = 18 Scouts
DET = 18 Scouts
TBL = 15 Scouts
BUF = 19 Scouts
OTT and FLA = 11 Scouts
Don’t worry, Melnyk will just blame this on fans not showing up to games, even if the math doesn’t work.So I checked the scouting lists for some of the other teams.

The team website was out of date last time somebody was looking into relative scouting staff sizes. I know @BondraTime knew of a couple current (or possibly now fired, idk) scouts that were missing from the team site, so I wouldn't take it as fact that we are down to 9.And if the report is true, we now are down to 9 scouts.
Nothing like a renewed commitment to drafting and scouting.
Brennan going against the team isn't anything new. If anything, it's more of the same.
He's been ripping on the organization ever since we drafted Marian Hossa instead of Matt Zultek.

Still disappointing that after talking about refocusing on drafting and developing, we're cutting back on our scouts
What team would move on from it's President mid season and mid mega development project that he specifically hired to run?Anders Osberg
Bobby Strumm
Dan Boeser
Todd Stirling
"If" these reports are true, these guys were part time.
I have no clue how that would happen, no team would sack scouts like that for no reason in March.
I know this team is Micky Mouse, I'm just stating that firing a Scout in the middle of a season doesn't make much/any sense whatsoever. It doesn't sound like a mutual parting ALA Mark Hunter, where he has a provision worked in where he is unable to talk to or join other teams until after the draft and free agency.What team would move on from it's President mid season and mid mega development project that he specifically hired to run?
