One day (hopefully soon), the average CanPL team will have CFL level revenues, and the need for a central scouting will diminish. For now, I’d rather see the teams save money on this over the next few years, and have more money to raise the salary cap to a point where teams can afford to have some players making 6 digits.

Agreed. I see this as a situation like the import draft in the CHL where a lot of teams just don't have the money to spend on international scouting so a lot of the picks are based on reputation or who you know. This way teams at least have access to some international scouting without needing to blow their budget on it. I'd rather have Cavalry spending their money developing their own players and finding local talent than sending scouts around central and south america to find somebody who is willing to come here.
