This is amateur rather than pro scouting, but obviously the team puts only so much into scouting, and... I think arguably it ain't enough.



Somebody isn't doing enough research about who gets brought in, and the UFA signings have been... honestly pretty bad. "Oh I knew that guy back in Hanoi in 68, he's real solid." doesn't get the job done.


Utter misses?

Valimaki, Kylington, Andersson are all great picks.

Mangiapane, Dube look to be good picks.

Jury’s still out on Jankowski’s ceiling

Still too early to tell with guys like Pospisil, Petterson, Phillips.

Very interested to see if Parsons rebounds this year.
