I tried to find something for what he did after his last season in the KHL and didn't really find much. I am guessing he would be the Russian scout, but can't really find where that link is with the Flames.

Good article on the Hockey Writers about the new staff (a few weeks old so missing a few):

Billy Powers: New Pro Scout
Billy Powers was a college hockey stud back in the late 1980s. The former winger suited up for the prestigious University of Michigan from 1985-1988 and put up a very notable 107 points in 115 games. Before he even got to Michigan he was drafted out of high school by the Flyers in the ninth round of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. Unfortunately, he never donned an NHL sweater and instead became a graduate assistant coach with Michigan when he finished playing there. After two years of that, he moved on to be a full assistant coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago, a position he held for another two seasons. He then came back to Michigan as an assistant in 1992 and stayed there for a whopping 25 years. The last six seasons Powers was there he served as the associate head coach.
Powers decided to switch to the scouting world in 2017, joining the Flames as an amateur scout. Tasked with hunting for talent in the junior hockey ranks, the team has drafted such players as Dustin Wolf, Jakob Pelletier, Jérémie Poirier, Connor Zary during his regime as well as the more recent Matt Coronato and Samuel Honzek, among others. Now, he has moved up to the job title of pro scout effective for the 2023-24 season. Instead of young potential draft picks, he will be looking at established NHL players that could add to the Flames’ success and be had via trade or free agency. Time will tell how he does in this new role, but if his amateur scouting is any indication, the Flames will be in good hands.

When you're looking for a scout to fill your position as reserve list scout who do you choose? I'll tell you, it is someone who has been around the game, the team the fans over over a decade, someone who asks the tough questions and someone who knows the answers. That's who.

Draft Pick

does that mean they will pay Loubardias $200 plus gas money when they need his services 7 times a year?

Danielle Fujita is still with the Flames. She was here during development camp, and I doubt anything changed since then.

Do other teams have reserve list scouts or is this a new thing?
It's an interesting idea, kind of like a pro scout for players who haven't turned pro yet. It allows the amateur scouts to focus of the draft-eligible players.
