I'm curious to know what a reserve list scout is? Reserve list as in players on a reserve list that he scouts for? Or reserve list as in he's a scout who's on a reserve list and is deployed as a back up scout?

As I understand it, he will be scouting players who are on the reserve lists of the Flames and other teams.
I assume it's somewhere between an amateur scout (who are mostly focused on draft-eligible players) and a pro scout (who are focused on players who are playing in the ECHL, AHL, and NHL).
He'll be tracking players like Honzek and Lipinski for the Flames, but also recent draft picks from other teams who are still in junior/college and the Flames might be interested in acquiring.
If the season doesn't go well and we see a fire sale of all the pending UFAs at the deadline, this could be a very important role.
