Speculation: Annual: who’s scouting who? thread!

[Theo Von]

interesting that the Jackets, who have been scouting every LA game pretty much for the past month, don't have a scout at the game tonight.. on a night where Quick isn't playing.

Why would you need to scout such a high profile goalie in person?

Very surprised to not see TOR here

So how often are trades ever made based off who’s scouting who at the tdl?

Literally every trade.


You can all but guarantee that when a trade gets made at the deadline, if you went back and looked you'd see the two teams scouting each other a handful of times before the trade.


You'll also see lots of examples of teams scouting each other that dont end up trading.

Toronto and St. Louis were scouting Washington’s (Hershey) and Philadelphia’s (Lehigh Valley) farm teams this weekend.

Blues have been scouting both Philly and LV for couple weeks. I wonder though how much of the LV this weekend was to see a certain goalie on his rehab starts?

True, although he only played in tonight’s game

True. And we were scouting them before he got there. Any sense on who else might be looking at? Doesn't seem like many top guys there at this point.

Ironically, posting every NHL-affiliated scout in attendance seemingly muddies the water further.

No clue, I follow Hershey but they play LV a lot of the course of the year. LV has gotten worse prospect wise since most have graduate to the NHL or have been dealt recently. LV is pretty much mid-tier prospects other than Myers but he was playing his first NHL game tonight. Sam Morin also came back from injury this weekend but only played Friday’s game I believe. Flyers fans would be better at specific targets

Appreciate it. I know Flyers have nice prospect pool but didn't look like any top ones played today.

Buffalo looking at Kyle Turris maybe in case the Preds get Duchene?

When you go to a store frequently just to see something you really want, but can't get. That's what it feels like Montreal does with Anaheim and their LD players.
