Thanks for sharing. Excited by the Salmelainen hire with multi-aspect experience as a player, agent and manager. Bulking up with qualified eyeballs in Europe is critical to find the hidden gem pipeline this organization will need.
Jackson delivering on his day 1 promise to build up, formalize and professionalize the development function that's been a primary issue for a long time. I love that they are bringing an in-house mental specialist to commit to this critical, unseen aspect of talent assessment which is often a defining reason players make or don't make the final step to NHL level performance.
Looked at Malt's business website which sounds interesting in terms of experience and his approach to mental skill training and development:
We saw Jackson's commitment to mental skills performance, skills development, coping and resiliency with his cold call hire of George Mumford. Now he incorporates this incredibly important function into the front-end development function.
