It looks like Scouting Director is a different position from Director of Amateur Scouting: http://flames.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=679765

“John Weisbrod and I have been discussing for some time now a way to bridge our European and North American scouting operations, and we are confident Todd Woodcroft is the perfect person to help us build that bridge by increasing our cross-over coverage in Europe and North America, while also being available to us for special assignment work,” said Feaster. “Todd’s extensive experience in Europe, and particularly Russia, will be invaluable for us as we continue to place even greater emphasis on drafting and developing our own players.”
Hard to tell where they fall on the hierarchy. It sounds like this role falls somewhere in between Amateur and Pro scouting. Once players are drafted, Button doesn't care about them any more.
