What would your ideal scouting hire in the modern day look like?

He continues, referring to past colleagues of yours, such as Billy Ryan and Wes Clark, among others.

What's the secret sauce in terms of personnel evaluations, skill sets that the Canucks should target if they're looking to make new scouting hires?

With the Billy Ryan and Wes Clark shout out.

Yeah, killing it.

so you mentioned you touched on sort of the idea of working smarter, not harder.

And like one, I know this is going to seem silly to some of our listeners, the idea that this would be still up for debate.

But for example, even something as simple as like what role watching tape versus live viewing plays in a scouting process is very different across organizations.

Like there's organizations that will factor in tape versus

viewed game reports significantly into their conversation, and there are other organizations that require live viewings only, like videos like a big no-no within the amateur scouting process.

I believe the Canucks are one of those teams, the latter types of teams.

How do you...

think through navigating that, especially as technology improves with a variety of different applications of AI and stuff well beyond the analytics or the models that we were talking about 10 years ago.

I leave my sunglasses in the studio every day.

Benson.

My point is, though, my point is, though, is he was always going to be like in the 40s and then he dropped a bit for his like dropping from 40 to 62 is not as dropping, but I'm not from five or six to 13.

I'm being what am I being?

Do you think the Hudson performance in the playoffs changes things for Villeneuve and Ryan Lynn in terms of when they actually get selected?

Specifically, you know, 24, 25 range?
