can we give prospects more than 1 day before we call them shit?
it's not lamoriello who made the picks it's the scouting staff, mark hunter and tommi bergman etc
>>68927634
Way too much to ask
>>68927634
>can we give prospects more than 1 day before we call them shit?
Go back to your hug box.
>it's not lamoriello who made the picks it's the scouting staff, mark hunter and tommi bergman etc
The GM makes the picks and are advised by the scouting staff.
>>68927672
>hug box
>THE GM MAKES THE PICKS GUYS
you're clearly a moron
>>68927625
thats literally the most interesting thing ive ever heard in my life
>>68927702
>can we give prospects more than 1 day before we call them shit?
That's exactly what faggots on pussy sites would say. Have you ever known /hoc/ to be forgiving of stupid decisions because of appeals to authority?
>>THE GM MAKES THE PICKS GUYS
You honestly think they leave it all up to the scouts? The point of a GENERAL manager is to coordinate all the aspects of the team. If the coaching staff, the development team, the amateur scouting team and the pro scouting team don't work together the team won't have any direction and will be a complete mess. It's easy to say "get me the best players" but defining what the best players are is far harder.
>>68927672
General managers may be hands-on early on but come the second and third round the scouting staff almost completely takes over.
Lou doesn't seem to have much influence on the composition of the scouting team nor their direction, considering it's the same staff from before him that has been willing to take these higher risk players.
The number of undrafted/re-entry players seems way up in general. This is partially due to this draft being weak after the second round but it's also a good way to minimize risks as you are getting an already developed product.
>>68927791
Director of Scouting organizes the scouting staff. He coordinates with the GM for any pick for pick deals.
>>68927559

4chan allows me to call you a faggot and Nylander a bust without a horde of virtue signalling idiots descending on me. The fact that everyone here are internet tough guys is irrelevant to the fact that hockey discussion here doesn't bow to "ugh, can we, ugh. Can we just not?" style comments.

Not a laffs fan senpai
The GM sets the direction through employing the scouting staff, or assigning organizational needs to focus on. The Laffs scouting staff was in place from before Lou came in. They seem to be operating quite similarly.
To think that Lou is micro-managing at a pick by pick basis come the middle of the draft is ridiculous. Most likely he doesn't know who half of those players were.
>>68927913
what a shit post, you are the faggot m8
>>68927922
Only the Canucks are in a worse position than the >laffs

>>68927898
Not a leafs fan. They've been shit at drafting until 2012 and really 2014.
I personally liked last year's draft but not this one that much. Regardless, to think Lou has a dramatic effect one way or another is imaginative to say the least.

But would be able to say "hey, stop drafting so many overager busts. If you like them so much I can just sign them for free"

>>68928053
Sean Day will be a future HoF. By HoF I mean a head of a Wendy's franchise.
>>68927998
If it were just a Toronto thing then I'd agree with you. But by the later rounds the value of the pick is virtually nill and getting a players rights must seem worthwhile. A good example of this is Noel going so high despite minimal improvement.
It becomes a bit more complicated I assume when you consider the contract limit.
