Question, Do people think that the team should concentrate more on scouting here in the West? We have passed over and missed out on some incredible gems in the later rounds. As well, how about more scouting further east towards Russia? What are your thoughts on this? More scouts in Soviet Hockey Land and here in the West?

It doesn't have to be Russians, some Swedish (Alfie, Naslund, Danny Sedin before this year), Slovak (Gaborik, Demitra, Hossa, Palffy back in the day), Czech (Jagr, Elias and Havlat to name a few) and Austrian wingers (Vanek, Grabner) also have pretty strong offensive games. I think the Swiss will also have good players coming after Nino and Baertschi.
As to scouting, I think they should focus on both the W and on the OHL.
