Hes a fine enough interview and guy, and yes the GM still has to listen, but his “lists” suck.

By the grace of Jay Feaster, they didn’t flub Gaudreau, and by the grace of Jim Benning they fell ass backwards into Matthew Tkachuk.

I would rather have the guys running FC in charge of this scouting department.

It’s said all the time “scouts must know something we don’t.”

Yeah, but also no. They really don’t.

They should, but They’re watching the same video we are, and they’re making the wrong decisions.
