Very true, and to further this, in working so closely with them for so long, he probably has a good memory of which scouts fought hard for certain prospects that Calgary may not have ended up taking, but who with hindsight they should have.
Someone brand new to an organization doesn't have all of this 'background' info, and can end up making more mistakes. It is nice to have a fresh set of eyes and a fresh approach, but sometimes there is something to be said for promoting from within when shifting directions as well.
