It's the same scouting staff though I suppose the philosophy guiding them might have changed . Regardless, you need all sorts of players to succeed in the NHL. I have no problems with drafting a 6'7 beast with bottom 6 potential late in the 2nd round when the cupboards are already bursting open with potential top 9 forwards. Maybe one day we can have a 3rd line of Ferland-Bouma-Smith knocking people's heads off while Monahan, Bennett, Gaudreau, Hudler, Poirier and others light up the scoreboard.
