Rumor: Nick Pryor to be new Avs Head of Amateur Scouting?

[BobRossColton]

He also told Sakic to draft Barron

I mean Barron did get us lehky..

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Different orgs structure things differently, but my guess here is Harris would oversee both amatuer and pro. Where both will have heads who organizes the regional scouts.

IMO Harris is the next GM of the Avs and they are just grooming him for the role.


Rantanen seeing this news:

Not sure why Harris’ job is some giant secret and they had clueless Willsie talk about the draft instead of him but he’s high up the food chain.

In other words, he indirectly helped acquire Lehkonen. That's some good GM work.

Nate is clearly already planning ahead to one day take over Joe's job.

Zam Plante is a pretty cool name.

Peeing in me not a bad name either

Pieniniemi basically translates to Little Horn, which frankly sounds like a bad time for the Blue Jackets.

 

[Deadsy]

More like little peninsula. I don't see how you can translate niemi into horn.

If a cape is the shape of a horn, you could call it a horn.

Anyway.

Pierre Dorian should have at least got an interview for previous services rendered.

 

[the_fan]

They drafted him at 14th overall, the highest with Pryor in charge and he has yet to receive a contract is a curious situation.

Yeah but it’s up to the GM to sign him not the scout, unless you just brought it up in general. It just sounded like you’re blaming Pryor for that

 

[jabubenice]

Pryor’s a good lad. I think he has a good eye too… prior to Pitt, he was the USHL and Mn HS scout for the Flyers for like 7-8 years. Too early to know his results as a head guy in Pitt, but I think he’ll do a better job than we’ve seen recently.

true... can't really do any worse honestly

 

[Snow Arc]

Nate making hires now

That means Sid has too, right? Spent offseasons with this guy?

 

[The Kingslayer]

This guy gonna suck like the ones before him. Pierre Dorion should have been hired. [MOD]

 

[TruePowerSlave]

I'll take a wild guess that the Avs drafting will continue to suck ass

Well, he is signed now.

Idk why they didnt take a chance on Pierre Dorion or someone with experience like him.
There's even guys who are in the medias right now that i would have considered, people like Craig Button. I'm willing to give a chance to the new guy , but stricly looking at his draft reccord in pittsburgh it's not stellar.

TBF they did take a guy with NHL amatuer head scout experience here. Klipp, Hepple, and Pracey were not head scouts in the NHL before. Hampson was the last one to be a head guy elsewhere prior to his role on the Avs.

Dorion will end up with a AGM role somewhere eventually.

I doubt he wants a head scout job, even less so for a team that will not draft much in the next 5-6 years.

Dorion probably wants more $ and resources than the Avs want to give.

IDK where else to put this...
