Nobody yet, but they might not elevate anyone at all. Back in 2019 Yzerman hired Rezmierski AND Jesse Wallin as chief amateur scout's. Wallin is still around.
They drafted insanely well defencemen since those guys were hired.
It really felt like we are Nashville for a moment. Always finding new good defencemen. Rezmierski was 10 years at Nashville. Wallin came from the Blues. Both former organizations for those chief scouts have had this reputation of great defences and good overall defensive material at defence.
2019, Seider, Tuomisto, Johansson
2020, Wallinder, Sebrango, Viro
2021, Edvinsson, Buium, Plandowski
2022, another Johansson (Rezmierski gone already, but Håkan + Jesse Wallin still on the play)
But that Rezmierski era from 2019 to 2021 is hell of pack of defencemen.
