Ok this is funny.


The scouts get direction from their GM. I’m sorry to tell you.

It’s possible Dorion and staios have sort of the same vision in what kind of players they want to draft

They get direction but the scouts job is to convince the GM why a certain player is better than the other. Just like how Dorion had to convince Murray that taking a 170lbs 5’10 swedish dman was the right player to take in 2008 over the 6’5 Joe Colborne.
 
Harder to call shots later in the draft, but these are Sens-types for their three picks coming up...

F - Burnevik, Powell, Montgomery, Ellinas, Thorpe, Pridham, Sterner, Solovey, Allard, Boilard, Aspinall
D - Roberts, McIsaac, Misskey, Woolley, Golicic, Muhonen, Mayes
G - Gidlof, St-Hilaire

The first draft with a new gm will usually be lackluster. Haven't had a chance to being in all your own guys. Haven't had a full year scouting how you want. Have to go on impressions and shit from different areas than you'd have chosen yourself.

Hopefully they get some gems though.

Thought Jecho would be in consideration too but he just went. Good lists

Exactly, although I personally don't mind the choices, it's not their guys yet

Their direction hasn’t changed from the start of the season under Dorion and Boyd, they never changed what they were doing for this draft midseason.

Systematic changes won’t happen until we get scouts brought in by Staios.

Oh boy 3 picks in the 4th round.

1. Another high PIM low points big man.
2. An overager that’s been past on before.
3. A random goalie that wasn’t even ranked.

It’s not hard to change direction and scout differently for the next 8 months after Dorion is fired.

It’s the same list of players. You just value different traits.

22. Luke Ellinas - Center - Kitchener Rangers
One of the most improved draft eligible players from the OHL this year. From start to finish, he showed terrific improvement in almost all areas. Part of me is concerned about his projection at the next level given that many areas of his game are average at best. But the other half of me loves how much he improved over the year and how effective he is in close quarters. It's almost as if Ellinas is most effective in traffic, compared to when he has more time and space to operate. He excels near the net. He has great hands and underrated scoring potential. He controls the wall and cycle well. He competes in all three zones. Having such a mature small area game, and improving as a skater really makes me think he could end up carving out a role. That will depend on his ability to handle the puck, play with pace, and make quicker decisions with the puck as a playmaker. I think that there's a chance that he could end up a Jason Dickinson type of player in the NHL.

That scouting report makes him sound like Connor Brown.

If they draft a goalie this year I’ll lose it!

Honestly, goalies are such crapshoots, I'm of the opinion you should draft one every year.

Better ppg in the playoffs than regular season. Encouraging sign.
