And of course the draft is a year long process. You'd send scouts out for a hockey season without telling them what to look for?
Don't you think it's possible that you don't like Treliving to the point that it's become somewhat of an obsessive bias that is clouding your ability to be remotely objective?
Honestly ...
- 7 weeks on the job
- just hired by a long tenured cup winning GM
- scouting is a year long process
but you think the new guy took complete control and altered everything? Really?

I think he had full autonomy and was the decision maker yes, based on everything him and Burke told us. Also his comments on what type of team he wants to build tracks with the moves he made early on (Jiri is probably right that the philosophy changed at some point)
Plus I think it’s more likely that if you felt unprepared for a draft you would defer down the ladder to the scouting department as opposed to up the ladder to the President.
So who really pushed for Hunter Smith? Much more likely it was Button or a regional scout than Burke at that point
