Unfortunate, he did a pretty good job out of the Q.
So we lost a guy out of Europe and a guy out of the OHL/QMJHL. Melnyk and Dorion really showing that some will fall for anything that comes out of their mouth, improve our drafting and development by canning 2 of our already short staff months before the draft. Nothing they said should be believed.
*Assuming this wasn't on their own terms
Nice to see we are doubling down on our NCAA Recruitment coordinator as well making him a Pro scout at the same time (after being an Assistant coach in Bingo for 7 seasons)
I agree that the optics are not good, given the PR spiel about the new strategy of getting better through the draft and development; however, letting two scouts go is not a good reason to draw a conclusion about the veracity of their comments or the commitment to getting better through the draft and development. I agree with the strategy and am willing to wait a while before calling them out. The team may have some new scouts joining the organization in the future. Only time will tell the story.
