The Hockey News wrote a piece a few years back about the scouting departments of each team, and both the Flames and Oilers were top-5 for biggest scouting staffs. I think I recall the Flames being 3rd.
Might have to do with travel distances. I guess the eastern teams might need less because they can just even drive to different games?

Richardson talks about retirement, and the opportunity in CGY.
He's going to be the western scout. Mostly scouting ANA, LA, Vegas, ARI etc. He plans to go to about 15 NHL games/month. Not that much travel, except the occasional game in VAN.

The reserve list any play whose rights they hold. Could be an unsigned college player, a newly drafted guy not yet signed or someone in Europe they drafted.
