I guess that means Steve Pleau is the only official pro scout in the Flames organization? The Flames were already very short on pro scouts relative to the rest of the teams in the league. Even a small market team like Columbus has 4. So do the Florida Panthers. Nashville has somewhere between 4 to 6. Losing Loob doesn't help in this regard.
It's especially curious when you consider the fact that pro scouting has been a stark weakness of the Flames for years.
You have to think the Flames will make more hires on this end, especially if Åkerblom's role is split between the pro and amateur sides.
