Won't miss him saying "size"

Actually a fan of a lot of our picks during his tenure, though.

 

[ricky0034]

well that's a few more names than I was expecting

be interesting to see what happens there

 

[Christien]

I liked Wright's two most recent drafts, but I'm excited to see the new people we bring in

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Well then.

Curious to see who they hire.

Al Murray?

 

[SirloinUB]

A change is overdue on the pro scouting side. I feel we have been really bad here since Brad Stuart.


Mixed feelings I suppose on Wright. I feel like Wright's drafting is hit or miss but i suppose that's the nature of the business.

 

[Frk It]

I will wait until we see something official, and see who the replacements are.

I just hope we keep Draper.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Oh snaps

 

[Bench]

Good News is Hakan is still there

It's pretty clear how much Yzerman leaned on Hakan's insight for this particular draft. I hope that's the direction we continue to go, rather than hoping he works miracles in the later rounds.

As for the rest of the shake up, not surprising Yzerman wants his own team in place.

 

[deca guard]

most are from western canada and probably offered jobs by kenny so are choosing to leave rather than 19 deleting them . this staff rebuild gonna be interesting .

 

[ricky0034]

Well then.

Curious to see who they hire.

Al Murray?

I feel like for the director role it'll either be Hakan or some name none of us are expecting from some different organization(like how Yzerman originally brought in Murray from team canada when he went to Tampa)

Murray I doubt is going anywhere at this point

 

[deca guard]

didnt something happen with murray after 19 left , like he was given a bigger role or something ? and it sounded like he was there for good ?

Yep they promoted Murray to assistant GM, along with their director of player development.

I think Draper is most likely to be the replacement if we were to go with an internal hire. Hakan seems very set and content on staying over in Europe.

That is correct, he was promoted to be co-AGM with two other fellows. He remains Director of Amateur Scouting.

Damned non-refreshed tabs.

Shanahan?

yeah maybe i'm just going by how much more input he seemed to have in this draft but I suppose they could also just be giving him more input going forward in his current position to stay put

Didn't know this. Name off the board.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Al Murray?

That would be sweet, Trust in the Yzerplan.

 

[Frk It]

I don’t know that the promotion for Murray rules him out of coming here. I imagine we could offer him the same AGM/Director of Scouting role here, and maybe he would rather work for Yzerman.

I mean, technically we gave Holland a promotion before he left for Edmonton. Not sure that stuff means a ton.

Very true. I don't know how that side of the NHL works.

 

[deca guard]

way i see it is shoot for the stars = murrays not proven to be a phenom . yes good but not great . ide take a shot at a newbie out there known in nhl circles to make the best draft rankings but thats never weilded the hammer before

It could very well be that way, I mean the same reason Wright stayed until after the draft and will likely end up with Holland in Edmonton.

Bobby Mack said this:


Sounds kinda concrete, but with naming 3 AGMs they could've seen it as temporary.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Hopefully they have a group of guys already ready to go. Curious to hear who they're bringing in.

 

[Henkka]

Could think Verbeek will be the scouting Director.

And won't cry after anybody as long as Håkan Andersson stays.

He is a miracle man.
