Subban's played 68,66 and 63 games in 3 of his last 4.
He isn't exactly a beacon of health either. Plus he can't skate anymore.
Good point. I did not realize that that has been his injury history over last 3 years.

That's a weird article. Parayko was discovered by another scout after playing a tournament in Russia. Based on that Davidson was sent to specifically watch Parayko. Davidson played a significant role, and getting the team to draft an overager playing in the AJHL in the third round shows we trusted his judgement... but he didn't discover him.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
I think it is Fate that J.D. is back with the Rangers org. He really deserved a place in Rangers history in 1979. Thought we were going to win the cup at my ripe young age of 19. Yeah, I believe(d) in miracles, I am a Mets and Jets fan........need I say more? J.D. was absolutely amazing and NOW is his 2nd chance to get his name on a cup. Honestly, he deserved that as an announcer. Fwiw.
so does anyone have more info on chris morehouse and marshall davidson aside from their relationship to JD? have to think there is a good chance that these 2 will be hired by the rangers because of that. so love to get any info or background on them. (morehouse is only 32 years old)
Don't know much more other than what you can find on EliteProspects but Marshall has been with JD since the St. Louis Blues, scouting the WHL primarily. Morehouse is a former player that never made the higher leagues. It seems like he started off scouting the QMJHL part time for the Blue Jackets while finishing up his college degree. He became a full time scout for the Blue Jackets and eventually became the Assistant Director of Scouting.
Here's a recent video of Morehouse talking about the Blue Jackets' 2019 draft picks.

I'm always dubious when I hear of an ex-player taking a management role. The jobs are almost completely different.
Just because someone's good at one thing doesn't mean they're good at something else.
I'm not saying it's impossible or they can't grow into the role but the skills are a lot different.
I'd say the success of guys like Yzerman and Wilson are more down to their organizations and support teams than their unique abilities.
I'm "speaking" generally, of course.

Back in 2002-03 I became friendly with a girl who was working with the Devils organization. She was the assistant to the player's team assistant. Basically what they did was meet the players need for tickets, travel arrangements etc.. She indicated Brodeur has unique requests and he wasn't pleasant to deal with.
well in his defense there is a good reason he couldn't just get tickets with his family sitting together
Yes, I know and that's exactly what I was being told. I didn't want to come out and say it for fear of infraction. However, my understanding was it was multiple Women. He would do this thing where he would wave to the crowd and he would have to have a general idea where they were sitting so he could be like I am gonna wave to you blah bah and he needed to know the seat assignment and of time. TBH it's very impressive that he was capable of juggling so much.
never saw an announcement but it appears that we've hired chris morehouse as expected...

(from K'Andre/Jones article:
"Jones' emergence has been a pleasure to watch for Rangers Director of North American Scouting Chris Morehouse, albeit a bit of an unexpected one."
not at the website yet

wonder if that is actually his title,
big job for an incoming exec to give to his son-in-law (per Hedger tweet above) ....

No, Morehouse has a good scouting resume to his name that he cultivated with CBJ.
This is far from "yikes" territory.

Mr. Preachy
it would be a new title/position just like they created the position of director of european scouting' for bobrov...given how great things have looked on the euro side under bobrov, it makes sense that they are looking to repeat that on the NA side.

What are the chances this year he takes off his President's hat and joins his old buddy Sam in the broadcaster's booth to do the color commentary one last time. As a guest broadcaster for old times sake. How great would that be. I need to hear him say Oh-Baby! just one more time. Because I think with Kakko and maybe others, there will be plenty of Oh-Baby moments. LOL
