This was expected.
Dubas will want to pick his own staff.
Only one that's disappointing is Namestnikov, since he was the one to lead us to Zaitsev, Ozhiganov and Soshnikov.
Ya our Russian scouting has been terrible. no surprise on some of those names.
Shanny is still tight with federov and his connections.Shame about Namestnikov, KHL FAs would be useful to supplement a cap strapped contender.
That's nothing to write home about thoughOnly one that's disappointing is Namestnikov, since he was the one to lead us to Zaitsev, Ozhiganov and Soshnikov.
Huh? Didn't Dubas release them?Dubas doesn't even have control over his own staff members...
Clearly they don't respect this young nerd
We haven't picked players from Russia all that much in the past decade so the sample size is fairly low before this new front office. Between 2006 and 2014, the Leafs drafted ZERO players out of the Russian development system or the KHL. That's absurd.
Our US amateur scouting has been FAR worst. So many wasted picks. Bracco looks to be the best player drafted out of there since freaking Jimmy Hayes and Matt Frattin.

no I agree, we haven't drafted well. I don't mind changing scouts until we start hitting on more non-1st round picks. we're not getting an adequate share of the talent there.
