Wait…can you be a pro scout AND be on LTIR?

Pronger was working for the NHL for years while being on LTIR lol

Pronger was working for the NHL and still getting paid by the Coyotes on LTIR.

These hires are pretty much up in the air since they have no track record. I do like the idea of putting eyes on college/junior free agents, there is a lot of potential free value in that market.

yes

one notable case was chris pronger who did work

Mcbackup returns

 

[SprDaVE]

McBackup is a nice EBUG to have around.

I like Muzzin as a pro scout. He’s played with winners and knows what it’s like to be a winner

 

[LeafChief]

Very happy to see Muzz stick around.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Solid moves. More eyes to have in the organization never hurt. Muzzin’s a smart guy, and knows what winners look like. Mac has been around the league a long time for a reason. Good to keep good people around the organization.

McDoGDS doesn't have the same ring to it as McBackup

 

[DarkKnight]

I wound have hired Sparks but that's just me....

 

[trellaine201]

McIhenny can play if needed loved him with the Leafs

 

[danron1376]

anyone else remember this?

 

[IPS]

Glad Muzzin's making some income outside of his playing career. Guy left it all on the ice for us in his time here.

 

[M Ace]

What is ”Mr. 5 rings”, Kevin Lowe doing these days?

 

[Menzinger]

It's nice to keep these guys in the organization, Muzzin especially

 

[Carltons Cup]

Muzzin is a pro scout on Robidas Island.

Ha. Love it.

 

[The Masters]

When did Muzzin retire?

 

[Dough72]

Good. The more hockey-people and the less economics degrees the better.

 

[robertmac43]

Happy to see both these guys staying within the Org. Especially Muzzin, guy was a warrior for us.

 

[Legion34]

I think it’s dumb that you can be a player and a scout


Is he getting a new salary?

I know it happens in the league like pro fer
It’s still dumb

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I wish I knew what all of them are like personally. I have no clue whether they will work out in all these positions. I wish them well though. If it benefits TOR then great.

 

[colchar]

Muzzin is a pro scout on Robidas Island.

Ha. Love it.

Except that he isn't on Robidas Island, he is legitimately hurt.

The Mcelhinney hiring is a sneaky shrewd move. Knows the organization well, but more importantly, being something of a career journeyman tender, he's worked with several goalie coaches over his time. Could be a real asset to the role.
