Scouting

Amateur Scouts - New to the Flames amateur scouting staff are David Akerblom (Sweden), Jason Taylor (Bellingham, Washington) and Trevor Hanson (Massachusetts). Akerbolm joins the scouting staff following a successful period as head coach with the J20 program in Brynas, Sweden. Taylor played professionally for ten seasons before joining Newport Sports Management where he worked for the past 18 years in recruitment including 29 first-round NHL picks and over 140 signed players. Hanson has 10 years of NHL scouting experience, most recently as Montreal's scout in the New England region.

Director of Player Development - Ray Edwards returns to his role in player development following his assistant coaching duties in Calgary the previous two seasons. Edwards originally joined the Flames staff in a player development role at the start of the 2015-16 season. Prior to that, Edwards was a head coach in the AHL and the ECHL since 1998.
Development Coach - Martin Gelinas joins the development team after spending the past 9 years behind the Flames bench as assistant coach. Prior to re-joining the Flames as a coach in 2012, Gelinas was the Director of Player Development for the Nashville Predators. He brings 1273 NHL games of playing experience as well as four trips to the Stanley Cup Finals (1990 Stanley Cup Champion) to his mentorship role with the Flames young prospects.
Skating Coach - Danielle Fujita joins the player development staff on a full-time basis following the past three seasons of part-time work in player development. Fujita has over 30 years of experience training players at all levels including the NHL, AHL, and WHL. She was most recently the Power Skating coach for Edge School.

Ron Sutter - player development
Hakan Loob - pro european scout
Bobbie Hagelin - Sweden amateur scout
Reid Jackson - amateur scout
Eric Soltys - amateur scout (New England I think)

I thought Crosby was the Director of Player Personnel in Pittsburgh?

He was at least the 'Director of Making the Director of Player Personnel Look Good'
But that's a mouthful, so most shorten it to DMDPPLG

Hakan Loob is out? Wonder if that was the Flames' choice or his.

Perhaps he was getting a little bit lazy, a little bit unfit.

I'm intrigued that they hired a quant. In stock trading/investing they create algorithms and systems to find an edge in the market.

Losing Loob is huge. 
Also thought our swedish amateur scout has actually been pretty solid over the last bit- but I suppose we have had few successes actually making the club overall.
Strange to see Ron Sutter go while the other Sutter comes in? Guess someone has to go take care of the farm.

Interesting that they have a "quantitative analyst". Hopefully they also have a "qualitative analyst", or even a few.

And there are millions of data points per second. And everything is numbers.
When you have hundreds of data points, and your subject points are humans, building algorithms 'to find an edge in the market' isn't quite as straight-forward.

I'm pretty sure we already knew about the Loob departure, because they hired his replacement earlier in the summer.
Darn, I was hoping they were going to hire some more pro scouts. As it stands, I'm pretty sure the Flames have the fewest pro scouts out of every team in the league.
Michael Charron sounds interesting.

Danielle Fujita, from what I know was an absolutely amazing skater, which makes sense since she's the skating coach. Some of the Japanese I know down here still remember that about her.
As an aside, her brother was a very good WHL player who was just born in the wrong era for making the NHL. Still carved out a very long hockey career in Japan (and played in the Nagano Olympics).
