The scouting heirarchy of the Wings. More about the draft. It doesn't have anything about their pro scouting, so I'm not sure if these same guys are doing pro scouting or if they just left them out of the article to focus on the amateur scouts.

Red Wings Central is a prospect watching site for Detroit fans. It only covers the amatuer / lower professional prospects. The guys who scout the other NHL teams for tendencies, trades, etc would not factor on this site. The guys listed here are the amatuer draft scouts only except for the top brass like Holland / Nill who cover every potential player.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's why you trust your scouts:
| Quote: |
Just after the Red Wings made their sixth-round choice, TSN analyst Bob McKenzie wandered over to the rail that separates the draft floor from the reporter's enclosure – McKenzie, working for a rights' holder, is on the team side – and I asked him to tap Kenny Holland on the shoulder and bring him over. Since Holland doesn't mind telling everyone who'll listen that he puts himself completely in the hands of his scouting staff at the draft, I wanted to know what Holland knew about Stephen Johnson – listed as S. Johnson on the board – or even if he knew his first name. Problem was, McKenzie tipped him off to what I was trying to do, so naturally Holland had all kinds of data: Played in Belleville, left winger, scored nine points in 56 games. Impressive – until he started laughing out loud, and admitted he didn't really know him at all.
“Their job is to find players; I'm busy working the floor,” said Holland. He didn't seem to be working the floor too hard at this stage in a quiet second day of the NHL draft. “You know what? You can't watch 10 amateur games and have an impact on the draft. You either live it – or you don't. I can't help out by watching Guelph play 10 times in a year.” |
