Increased interest in Russian players? Nope. Didn't notice.

How can a team only have 1 Russian scout ? ( previously none )
The ROI on scouting feels like it should be massive .
Don’t use the cap room and sign more scouts for the next few years

Good for Craig to add a Russian scout; crazy that the previous regime did not have a scout devoted to a top 3 hockey nation?

That Instat thing he mention is nuts, no idea how it works. My bantam kid gets an instat report an hour or two after every game where you get corsi and a bunch of advanced stats.
Better, they have parsed clips of every shift, goal, shot, assist, penalty separated out.
Scouts have access to it. I didn't think the big leagues used it.
I've heard it actually goes to a Russian outfit that breaks down the game, not sure though.

I appreciate they're looking into Russia more. There's a ton of talent there being overlooked because of geopolitics.
I wonder if Artamonov is a target with the Vancouver pick then

Shocking (if I read that correctly) that they didn't have a single scout in Russia before now. Just ignoring a huge number of potential players. They spend to the cap but skimp on their scouting staff? Not all that shocked honestly when I think about it.
On a side note it looks like Loob is no longer part of the scouting organization (I believe he disappeared from the website a few years ago). Does anyone know what happened there or did he just retire?

They had Igor Kravchuk or Sergei Krivokrasov scouting Russia for them if I recall in the pre Feaster or Feaster era. No, pre Feaster.

Good call, I wouldn’t mind that. Yegor Surin might be another option. My mind just doesn’t go to Russian players as possible draft picks for us. Guess that will change.

I like what Surin has but he reads like Adam Ruzicka. Supreme skkill but just wildly inconsistent. Maybe the 2nd rounder.
I know it won't happen but imagine the Canucks lose in Rd 1. We get a real shot at Chernyshov. Oof.

I bet we take a swing at Andrei Krutov with one of our later picks. He’s a winger in the MHL that has polarized scouts, but has put up points. Many say he’s a product of his linemates, and can’t create offense on his own without high-end players to feed him, and do the heavy lifting.

It's great that they're looking more at Russians. Never understood why they never really considered that region under previous management groups. So many skilled players over there.

They should draft Putin. I saw him get 8 goals in a game with some pretty good players against him.
