The real question is though, how tall are they and how many penalty minutes did each get?
I think it's obvious at this point that the players Staios is interested in differs substantially from the players our scouting staff is interested in.
He's not Dubas but he's clearly not a dinosaur like the Sens scouting staff. He's willing to look at adding players who don't bring a ton of physicality/toughness if they bring assets in other areas.
It's amusing that Staios spent the last 6 months trying aggressively to convince Chris Tanev, a guy who barely hits and takes no penalties, to come to Ottawa, while at the same time our scouting staff was laser-focused on D that are physical and tough, hockey IQ and skill being an afterthought.
We need a new scouting staff so ****ing badly
