IIRC, he hasn't been working the amateur side. They need someone who has been in it all year running the show.
If true than I change my mind, did not know that

No you're right, GMs just take a majority vote among his scouts to decide every draft pick. Common knowledge that GMs just take votes, they don't act on their own opinions. Drafting is simple this way.
Nice strawman.No you're right, GMs just take a majority vote among his scouts to decide every draft pick. Common knowledge that GMs just take votes, they don't act on their own opinions. Drafting is simple this way.
Scouts generally go to bat for guys that they feel really strongly about. They make their arguments, and if it's agreed on, they can get their guy. This is what happens at the scouting meeting. That's why you here about players being certain scouts draft picks.
You make it sound like every scout sits there with their own list of rankings and when it comes time to pick they scramble to voice who they think should be used at that pick. In reality they all get together weeks before the draft and put together a board thats a general consensus of which players should go where. After that they get put into a computer and when pick #8 comes up the computer shows Tim Murray who they had in that spot and thus is where BPA happens; thats how Murray worked.How so? That's EXACTLY what you insisted.

I can't believe this conversation exists
they havent killed us yet
It just gets worse and worse, they fire the heads of both amateur and pro scouting. We hadn't even held our end of season scouting meetings.
There is no reason to fire anybody until the next GM is ready to hire his own people. Pegula and Brandon cutting of their nose to spite their faces.
who cares
everything Pegula has done as an owner of both teams has been nothing short of abysmal. this guy has gotten it wrong over and over again
Why should this time be different. He needs to really get it ****ing right this time and hand the coaching search off to the GM he picks.
what dont you get that he didnt pick the coach?who cares

The firing of scouts is odd to me as well. Unless their is something more going on behind the scenes it's just terrible timing...in Devine I trust though...
iirc, the head scouts were Murray hires. Makes sense that you'd throw out Murray's guys if you're throwing out Murray. I'm sure Devine can manage the draft if he needs to.
