Quoting: ithinkimrational
Good points, but I'd be careful quoting Timmins*, an underperforming head scout who spends more time in the gym than watching hockey.
Puuu is among a whole group of Pts-per-Game players who failed to make it in the NHL. So I wouldn't be so absolute about the guy.
dude wtf are you talking about ?
he's not a scout hasnt been for about 7 years now , that was 3 promotions ago
Timmons rebuilt our inept Draft Department hired by Pierre Gauthier .
his first shot at being a scout was 2014 before that he was Director of Player development for a decade since he was hired.
MTL's horrendous drafting practices only started to Change when Timmons was appointed to oversee the players being drafted .
After 2-3 years he completely re-staffed the department including bringing in his friend Eric Crawford who's drafted more talent 2017 -now then MTL has had combined since Molson bought the team a week before the 2009 draft driving us straight into the ground. (chose leblanc over kreider then a week later traded Mcdonugh and others for Gomez )
Timmons rise to Power has come with a lot of hard work and after spending the first half of his nearly 20 year tenure without any real power to make change anything good that can be said about MTL's current depth is because of him .
People pretend Pierre Gauthier doesnt exist and like he didnt build and run that Draft Department into the ground exactly like he did CHI 2013-2017 just so they have an excuse to crap on the English guy. Its pure Prejudice
