Scouting

[Nitehowl]

A few examples of how important scounting and drafting is....

and why Kamloops has gone thru a few lean years....I know scouting is tough finding kids at 15 but imagine a team with Mahovsky,Phaneuf,Getzlaf,Dawes and Stoner... can you say Memorial Cups....and yes many other teams passed over these players also....but it is fun to imagine if your scouts were very good that year, what that team would be like for the last 4 years

Makes you wonder how much these scouts know about hockey.

Of the list mentioned, Josh Pokol is the only player I've seen enough times to even give an assessment.
