After reading how Holland isn’t exactly a savant at scouting and how he basically just steered the Detroit machine. I went back to verify that it was Hakan Andersson who scouted Datsyuk.
Interestingly enough in this piece, it mentioned that the Flames also has interest in him but their scout was stormed stayed & missed a chance to view Datsyuk live. Instead we drafted Dany Sabourin & a bunch of scrubs before Pavel in 1998.
Short story long...
Håkan Andersson was also hired by recently deceased former Wings Assistant GM & Flames head scout... Nick Polano.. In other words... not Holland.
