Confirmed with Link: Sens Chief Amateur Scout Bob Lowes joins Las Vegas

[DrunkUncleDenis]

First reaction is OUTRAGE! but I don't actually know how negatively this will impact us.

 

[Langdon Alger]

At least he didn't join Tim Murray in Buffalo.

 

[Senscore]

Gotta pay to play.

Talent won't work for free. On or off the ice.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

At least he didn't join Tim Murray in Buffalo.

Anders Forsberg did though

 

[starling]

To me it's a good sign. Shows how well our scouts and other personnel are regarded around the league. We are on good track.

Say what? They all are leaving for higher positions. It has nothing to do with money. You can't promote all your scouts to assistant GM.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Great for him and Vegas, he has a solid record as Chief of Amateur Scouting.

Not great for us though!

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

What?

He worked for the Sens for 11 years, he got an offer from another team that was beneficial for him.

Do you expect people to stay with the Sens forever?

Good luck Bob, you'll be missed.

Stepping stone

 

[jason2020]

Already bare bone front office ... all the more smaller now. That's just perfect news.

Its not barebones not sure where your getting that from.

It could be is might be making less with Las Vegas but has more of a chance to get a bigger role.

Oh no? Okay. Please prove me wrong then. Explain yourself and elaborate with specific facts & information to prove me wrong.

 

[BondraTime]

Oh no? Okay. Please prove me wrong then. Explain yourself and elaborate with specific facts & information to prove me wrong.

Why don't you explain how it's barebones?

Last I checked we still have Mann in the QMJHL, Fargher out west, Burda in Europe, Don Boyd in the OHL (former Asst GM and director of amateur scouting), Ruutuu in Europe, Lee as our Asst. GM, Murray in the OHL and QMJHL, and a bevy of other talented amateur scouts.

 

[Micklebot]

You made the initial claim consultation,laid (seriously wtf autocomplete), I would suggest the onus is on you to back it up when challenged, not the other way around.

Besides, he'll likely be replaced, so your fear that a small staff get smaller is probably unfounded. We do lose valuable experience though.

 

[DJB]

Ugh brutal.

 

[tony d]

Best wishes to him going forward. He got us Mark Stone, that shows how good he was to the team.

Agreed Mick.

Chelfan obviously isn't actually sure of his statement and doesn't want to put in the time or effort to research the claim.

Busted. Funny stuff

 

[NyQuil]

I'm not really getting the outrage.

People change organizations to move up in a hierarchy.

It happens all the time.

Not sure why money is a factor here.

 

[HousePerseus]

To me this will affect the sens most in the expansion draft. Although he is a junior scout im sure he still has had his ear to the ground around the org and knows the team well and who they should take, and why certain players were exposed.

That would fall under Jim Clark's role I would believe.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Too bad for the Sens. Good for Bob wish him well.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

It's finally my time to shine as the new assistant regional manager of amateur scouting.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Um, sorry, you are assistant TO the regional manager of amateur scouting.

Eugene Melnyk on TSN 1200 the Drive with Ian and Simmer on April 28, 2016: “ The financials are important because they fund the team. But the team is more than just player salaries. You got executives, trainers and coaches, and GM’s and scouting staffs, think about what we could do with extra money. I would spend it on scouting: professional and amateur, junior, your drafts are important long term and you have to get people in there. Look compare our hockey department compared to others, you know we really do it on shoe string and because we have to. “

Straight from the owner, there you have it. I would like to here jasons' counterpoint claim now to hear his point of view in how he thinks they're not bare bones.

What you just said is logical and sensible. Your overlooking/ omitting the recent history with the team in replacing and replenish their positions: Dorion got promoted from Assistant GM to GM: yet the position is still left vacant and abandoned.

 

[OmniSens]

The city of Las Vegas alone is more appealing than anything we can offer. Team will be competitive and be able to spend to the cap right away.
