HF Habs: List of Hab Scouts

[montreal]

lol who was that?

sorry I saw this and forgot to respond, it's Dave Starman, he used to be our NCAA scout before Nick Carriere took over for him, so he was fired or not brought back. He's a long time tv person for NCAA hockey, he's kind of like the non creepy NCAA version of Pierre McGurie as the dude really knows the players and programs.

Starman might be gunning for his job back as he just pumped Timmins tires again, I'll post his comments in a bit, he said the Habs are high on Stapley and he liked the Poehling pick. Earlier he talked about being in on signing undrafted FA Adam Plant but I didn't record it.

 

[Vachon23]

It will be interesting to see if Churla will take some scouts with him. Panthers only have 3 scouts hired

 

[Vachon23]

He was Team Canada U20 team manager this year interesting hire

He is replacing Ken Morin who followed Churla in Florida

Yannick announced this a little while ago. Great hire for the Habs. Yannick is phenomenal.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Who dis guy?

 

[Runner77]

What is his background?

Don't look to Engels for any help ...



Yeah, we know Engels -- these are tough times for everyone. What does he bring the Habs, how did he get the job, did he deserve the job ... you know, the type of questions that fans would appreciate answers to.

Engels has become a pretty useless plug.

See you're already better than Engels.

 

[Vachon23]

Important to say too that he is replacing Ken Morin who has follow Churla in Florida

Fire Engels and hire Vachon.

 

[Stive Morgan]

That's a funny way to spell Stive Morgan.

Who knew that a "Habs hired scout" thread would be another platform to shit on someone. Well done.

When did that happen?

When the Habs gave Florida permission to talk and hire Churla, there was one condition I had mentioned that the Habs needed to insist upon -- which is no poaching of Habs personnel over an extended period of time.

And of course, not only does Churla select Juulsen from under us but now you're saying, he hired one of our scouts? What's going on here? Who else from the Habs org. can Churla approach and convince to join Florida? I don't understand how this works.

Let's get this petition going!

Since December according to his Linked account and he’s the guy who was the west scout when they draft Juulsen so it put even more argument on why Florida claim him. For how it work I can’t answer that but it’s surprising because Morin was with the team since 2010. He probably got a better role with them

Aren't you doing just that?...

I hope the new guy makes up for Morin's loss. I wish we'd know the difference. Maybe it doesn't even matter, who knows.

I just find it dumb that an organization would give permission to another team to talk and hire a high ranking scouting individual and then have that individual poach Habs staff. I don't understand how that works.

If the Habs are giving permission, then they can assort that permission with certain conditions -- like Churla cannot contact, direcly or indirectly, any Habs employee, nor can he hire same, for a period of X number of months. Something that keeps Habs staff off limits for some time.

I don’t know if there is a link with that but Morin is not on the Panthers official site yet but he’s not on the Habs staff anymore on the official site.

Since you asked ... name in the thread title is mispelt as "Shutrun" -- it gave the impression of a guy who had just robbed a Dep.

 

[montreal]

Who dis guy?

"I was a big proponent of skating and that you had to be fast in order to play fast, but I think over the years I've learned that hockey sense, character, and compete are probably the three top traits for a prospect and a player," he confirmed. "If you can't think the game, and if you're not going to compete, and if you're not a good person with the right character, you're not going to be able to play in the NHL.

"Hockey sense translates into decision making: making the right decisions at the right time, being a team player, and ultimately doing what it takes in order to win," he elaborated. "If you go into an arena to look at hockey sense, you want to see how a player handles the puck. You want to see what decisions he's making in the defensive zone -- is he tracking back? Is he picking up a man? Is he positionally sound? Can he play within a system and within a structure? Can he take instructions from his coaches and adjust? It comes down to that and just having a real strong feel for the game, but I also feel that stems from a love of the game and it's something that's developed at a young age."

we might see how good or not Shurton is as I believe i've read it's expected to be a solid crop from the WHL, although if they start up the season soon we'll have a much better idea
