Based on the job descriptions, which seem to require quite a bit of experience and skill, probably about $50k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would double that number for this. $50k for a dev is extremely cheap, and those are straight out of college devs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will result in more information available to decision makers. In the right hands that should lead to better decisions being made. If it’s in the wrong hands, then they will probably mess things up with or without this additional information. It can’t hurt, so, yeah, it makes me happier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this new department lead to better players in the system? The new department will lead to more data. Maybe better data. It will still require people that know how to use the data and better decision making than we have had in the past.

dudacek Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Interesting how the Sabres hockey department is changing.

dudacek Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) So I created a new thread a week ago after reading this story, but it seems to have disappeared? https://www.kelownacapnews.com/sports/okanagan-nhl-scout-moves-from-red-wings-to-sabres/ At any rate, I note the subject of the story is not listed on the Sabres staff page yet, but the other new scout mentioned, Lukas Sutter, is, along with another new name, Tommy Vesanen, a Finn who scouted last year for Adler Mannheim of the German Elite League. Officially up to 10 scouts now, plus, Forton and Crowe. Edited September 8, 2021 by dudacek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Maybe getting rid of all the old scouts was more about getting rid of the old scouts than about cost saving. Maybe it was felt that they'd overstayed their welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
