I'm pretty sure it was Sutter who began the upgrading of the scouting department and it was shown in the few drafts before Jay came along.
Jay did a few things right by not interfering with the draft, as he didn't have a clue about scouting or player appraisal, which is fine to give credit for but he also did a whole lot of things wrong and couldn't be fired quick enough for my liking.
