I wonder why nhl trams don't hire more specific skill coaches like this. A speciality coaches salary's probably $100-200k. If they improve your $5-10m player even a tiny bit or push a prospect over the edge into a cheap rookie, it was well worth it.

Dawn Braid worked as a consultant with the team for awhile, I believe. Elite Prospects has 2019-20 listed for her, but I believe she was a part-timer for a lot of teams well before that.
Fujita joining the team as a full-time resource was part of an organizational push for more developmental resources that Treliving and Pascall were a part of.
