He is in complete charge of Amateur scouting

Wild hire former Canucks draft guru Judd Brackett to lead...

The Canucks, where the best and brightest get pushed out to coddle egos and keep John Weisbrod employed.

Will be fascinating to watch how he goes there.

:/

 

[WestCoastFinnie]

We are doomed

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Great...

There are no secrets in the NHL. Other teams can look at the Canucks drafting record in recent years, particularly some of the later round picks, and decide if someone is worth hiring. So it figured that Brackett wouldn't be out of work long.

Now, for the sake of comparison, we have now another team's draft picks to follow going forward.

So, I'm curious. It looks like he was director of amateur scouting for the Canucks between 2016-2019 (4 drafts) and that first draft looks pretty rough. He was a scout before then, and I'm wondering how much influence he had on those drafts. I didn't mind Mini Fenton (or actually Fenton himself as a scout), so the question is, is Brackett a step up? In the last 2 years, Fenton and Mini Fenton has drafted some pretty solid guys for the Wild.

Let them have Jethro Bodine as the next Wild GM as well & I would consider us ahead overall.

2016 is mainly benning going full simple jack and over ruling the scouts. Basically since benning screwed up 2016 he’s been listening to brackett

Does the article actually say Judd has full autonomy over picks? I don't have a subscription so I'd like to know if Minni's GM really gave up all control of the draft.

But that aside, good for Judd, he's earned it.

2017 was when he really got ahold of the draft and found his stride. 2016 was a GM making a call on the 1st round pick, I can't tell you what happened with the rest of the draft though. Our 3rd pick that year has a shot, Will Lockwood.

All the best to Judd, he did well here but it was clearly time to move on.

That wasn't what he wanted here, so it'd be surprising if he was looking for it there.

2016 he was overruled by Benning on the Juolevi selection and then we only had 1 more pick before the 5th round so don't judge him on that.

He fought hard for Pettersson and has a terrific track record from the USHL which is his 'home' league. Adam Gaudette and Jack Rathbone in particular are Brackett guys.

I guess we have different definitions of autonomy or 'complete charge'. That suggests they are his picks.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This discussion can continue in the Management thread since there is so much overlap with Benning.

Closed.
