Rezmierski was hired by the Ducks, no surprise but a confirmation to a known secret.

We kind of saw that coming. Who did Detroit elevate to Rezmierski's old job?

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.

And here's Rezmierski's Nasvhille D record (Just the hits):

2017: Farrence (Might still be a something)
2016: Girard, Fabbro
2015: Carrier
2013: Jones (That one was kind of easy)

With the way Anaheim's defense currently looks I can imagine them going the same draft route Detroit did in the last 4 drafts.

It really felt like we are Nashville for a moment.

Funny when you mention it, because that's how i view Detroit's future. Nashville with better offense. If the actual Predators have had better offense, they would have won a Cup or two already.

New faces has joined the ranks.

Boyd Gordon - Pro Scout

Nick Lucius - Physical Therapist and Assistant Strength Coach

Britta Ottoboni - Massage Therapist

Boyd Gordon - Pro Scout

Right-handed faceoff-specialist.

Exactly what we need...

...on the ice.

 

[Geezer WC]

Has Draper ever been on the ice working with the guys on faceoff's?

 

[Henkka]

Has Draper ever been on the ice working with the guys on faceoff's?

Dunno but he should definitely consult guys down there.

With the way Anaheim's defense currently looks I can imagine them going the same draft route Detroit did in the last 4 drafts.

In 16-17, the Ducks had the following defensemen:
Fowler - 25 - In Anaheim. 9 points in 20 games.
Vatanen - 25 - In Switzerland
Lindholm - 22 - In Boston. 18 points in 20 games.
Manson - 24 - In Colorado. 4 points in 18 games.
Theodore - 21 - In Vegas. 14 points in 21 games.
Montour - 22 - In Floraida. 19 points in 18 games.

Britta Ottoboni - Massage Therapist

Oh no, we're gonna Britta our strength and conditioning. That's not a good thing.

 

[Stony Curtis]

Oh no, we're gonna Britta our strength and conditioning. That's not a good thing.

"Get over here, Moritz. You look like you could use a good rolfing!"

 

[Perfect Human]

Oh no, we're gonna Britta our strength and conditioning. That's not a good thing.

I know what a metaphor is, it’s like an idea with another ideas hat on.

 

[SantosHalper]

Amateur scout Mark Mullen has moved on, Stevie making room for Al Murray . No other organizational changes during the summer, except Draper but that is common knowledge already.

 

[Henkka]

I remember that Mullen guy was added on Holland era. Did join at 2016.

How is Alex Tanguay? Still not extended? I remember he was without a contract, but there's no news about an extension.

Probably got fired for laughing at the Cleveland pick. Watch, they'll hire Helm as a scout so they can fill the holes with 4th line centers. LGD will also get a job as soon as he's done playing.

It isn't listed on the Red Wings page, but Elite Prospects says that we hired Petr Jaros as a goaltending scout for Europe.

Detroit Red Wings at eliteprospects.com

 

[Henkka]

They really strengthening the goaltending Development and scouting on many areas.

Head of Goaltending Scouting & Development - Phil Osaer Red Wings goaltending coach - Alex Westlund Griffins goaltending coach - Roope Koistinen (new hire at June 2023) European goaltending scout - Petr Jaros (CZE located) Livonia-native Osaer is the "GM of goaltending department". Yzerman hired him at Tampa and brought him to Detroit. Maciej Szwoch at eliteprospects.com Eliteprospects.com staff profile of Maciej Szwoch, 1985-06-08 Sweden. www.eliteprospects.com Maciej Szwoch was our earlier goaltendning consultant/coach at Europe, but he seems to work nowadays only for Färjestad. Think Jaros was a hire to replace Szwoch.

 

[Wingspans]

According to the Red-Wings page we have a new pro scout in Brian Flynn.

I wish us Wings fans got some more insight into this guy. He holds one of the highest roles in our hockey ops department, and we know very little about him, or what his duties are

I remember the first hire. There was so many people at same time, like half of the scouts etc. so he was just one of many names hired.

He partially replaced Ryan Martin who left to Rangers. Horcoff did took the AHL GM job.

 

[David D]

How many assistant GM's do we have?
