In order to have a good read on every player in the AHL and NHL you must scout all of those players multiple times per season. Our scouts are out scouting all the time, that's their job. They don't wait around all year only to start scouting specific targets pre-deadline. So yeah, scouting MTL and NSH doesn't necessarily mean much at all.
I'm not saying these reports of who we are scouting are completely useless but trying to read anything into them is pretty tough. All that said Galchenyuk and Eller would be a couple guys I'd be looking at whose names I've heard in the last while.
