Hopefully that's the case with Feaster, but hopefully you're not giving our staff too much credit either. The imbalance in the quality and quantity of NHL players coming out of the 30 NHL organizations (and the consistency of the good ones to churn out more goodness) is a testament that not all scouts are indeed equal. When you're googling these things you're not googling what I say about it. You're googling people that at least spend some time assessing these things as well, whether or not they have an NHL job. Weisbrod hasn't been here that long so we don't know yet until we see results, but I think given this organization's reputation (and the fact that we must have SOME staff that isn't new in the scouting department) makes me understandably skeptical of the uncertain assets coming in.
