Roll It Up

BREAKING NEWS: Claude Avery didn’t talk about his Infamous Page 2 article this morning. He said (among other things) “Until we can do it right, it doesn’t make much sense to do it.”

Fair enough–though I seriously wonder what “do it right” entails. (edit: Claude went on to say in the commentbox that “doing it right is framing a conversation that would actually be productive and worth the time to have and listen to.” Which is fair enough. Vague, but fair enough.)

Also: QMJHL scout Martin Madden has left the Smallest Scouting Staff in the NHL to take a job as chief of scouting for the Anaheim Ducks.

The Hurricanes now have a scouting staff of 9 (unless they did stealth-hiring when nobody was looking)…and people wonder why our drafts wind up being head-scratchers half the time, really.
