Sweet Tea, Barbecue, and Bodychecks
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.

The Canes have a scouting staff?
Yeah–amazing, innit?
So what’s a typical size for an NHL scouting staff? I’d guess 12-15?
The average size is ~15-20. Juniors, pro scouts, Euro scouts, that kind of thing. The Avs are the next-smallest that I’ve counted, with 13 full-timers.
BTW, the Caps have 14 full-timers on their scouting staff. Just thought you would like to know.
