I don't know who that is but if Dubas & Co. think he's worth it, so do I. I have full faith in this management until they give me a reason not to.

Was formerly out Director of US Scouting.
Our last 3 picks from the U.S have been Joseph Woll (3), J.D Greenway (3), and Jeremy Bracco (2).

What's the deal with JD Greenway? I believe I read that he had a rough year? All reports prior to the year suggested he could skate, move the puck and shoot on top of being big.

Yeah that's interesting, wonder if it's more to do with his process and methodology and less to do with the certain players we've drafted.It's kinda funny when you think about it. With 16 picks in the past two drafts, they didn't take a single player from the U.S.A, but then promote the director of US Scouting
2 out of 3 tracking well and the 3rd had unforeseen personal issues. Pretty good last 3. I think its the ones before these 3 though that aren't so great,
A few signings like J. Holl, T. Moore, K. Kaskisuo and a few other NCAA free agents mostly on AHL contracts were likely scouted by him.
There's a lot of good, and some bad obviously.
Since the 2007 draft the Leafs have drafted the following out of U.S schools, or the USNDP
2008: Jimmy Hayes, F (2/60)
2009: Jerry D'Amigo, F (6/158)
2009: Eric Knodel, D (5/128)
2009: Kenny Ryan, F (2/50)
2011: Max Everson, D (7/203)
2011: Dennis Robertson, D (6/173)
2011: Tony Cameranesi, F (5/130)
2011: Tyler Biggs, F (1/22)
2012: Dominic Toninato, F (5/126)
2014: Nolan Vesey, F (6/158)
2014: Dakota Joshua, F (5/128)
2014: J.J Piccinich, F (4/103)
2015: Jeremy Bracco, F (2/61)
2016: J.D Greenway, D (3/72)
2016: Joseph Woll, G (3/62)
Hayes, Toninato, and D'Amigo became NHL'ers. There's some hope with Bracco, and Woll playing in the NHL. There's some that think Dakota Joshua could eventually become a 3rd or 4th line guy still as well.
So out of 15 picks, 5 or 6 of them will probably see NHL ice.
Not bad production TBH
That Biggs miss was pretty big, although to be fair it wasn't a huge reach by rankings it seems. Slated to go late first/early second.There's a lot of good, and some bad obviously.

Which makes 100% sense with Burke pushing for him.That one is pretty tough to judge.
Obviously Biggs was slated to go in that area (apparently DET was going to take him, which is why the Leafs moved up to get him).
Not only that, but it was known that Burke really wanted Biggs.
I believe it's scholastic issuesWhat's the deal with JD Greenway? I believe I read that he had a rough year? All reports prior to the year suggested he could skate, move the puck and shoot on top of being big.
