That's embarrassing.
A bunch of other teams are doing diverse, merit based hiring and we still have Larry Jr. getting paid to do another role he has no qualification for.

Oh no, this is going to hurt our totally awesome track record of drafting busts throughout the entire draft.

Dude, we're f***ing elite.
We simultaneously only draft busts while having the best prospect pool in the league.
MB is both a genius and hampered by his scouting and development staff (which he performance manages and can fire/hire)
Schrodinger's Bergevin.
Habs
We should have drafted Michkov

And our Pro Scouts:
It is criminal Eric Crawford still has a job after all his failures in western Canada. Absolutely mind boggling how he gets promoted from the west, to director of pro scouting.
I'm not 100% sure but I think most scouts are just based out of their hometown and don't actually move to the city of their NHL team. I mean there would be no point since they are on the road scouting most of the time. Especially if we're talking about Florida a state with literally zero NHL prospects. Why would he live there?
Unless of course Churla and his family decide to set up a permanent residence there for the reasons you've stated of course that's their choice but Churla wouldn't be there most of the time, he'd be on the road.
More realistically he is from BC so he will probably chill there with his family on off days and not in Florida because there would be no point in going down there aside from vacations.
And our Pro Scouts:
Pro scouting - NCAA ? That has got to be a typo. One hilarious typo

He is not MOVING to Florida. He is working for the Panthers. He's been with the Habs for many years, he doesn't live in Montreal. I think he lives in Minnesota.
Timmins has been with the Habs since 2003, he still lives in Ottawa. Rick Dudley worked for Montreal, but he lived in Buffalo. Ramage works for Montreal. He lives in St. Louis.
These are departments that work for an organization, but don't necessarily live in the city the organization plays in.

Did Bergevin not claim that high level scouting people are not available? I think it was Marinaro who had pressed him on this issue.
Oh, he must have meant that they’re not available from other teams but are totally available from the Habs. Now I get it.

How so? What do we know about how well Churla handled his responsibilities? What prompted the Panthers to hire him?

I remember pierre gauthier. Im not sure, but when he was the GM of montreal, he was living in US, like vermont or new hampshire. So they are all working for montreal, but not necessarily living here

Murray and Yannetti have bigger role that they would have heres so I don't think It will work.
Luccini is 72 so I don't think at his age he want a role with that much responsibilities

For somebody who has too much time on their hands, during the Timmins era, who would do better with the available picks, Timmins or Central Scouting?

Honest question... Do you think Churla is a big loss cause Timmins tells him what to do? How do we know then if Churla was good at his job or not?

Hope he doesn’t bring back Sly
He would have but Nick Carrière has the inside track.

Martin Madden JR could be a very nice get. I always liked anaheim´s selections. Not necessarily because they are selecting often in Q. But their picks, became their core.., fowler, theodore, rakkell, lindholm, etc. But, i think for madden, his next job is GM or nothing else

Yep he's now AGM in ANA and he's probably the one who will replace Murray but that's why I put Stephane Pilotte as candidate. He's the one who is scout in QMJHL and made an awesome job when he work in the Q
