During Gillis era Brackett was just a scout, one of about 20.
He was not head of amateur scouting during Gillis era.
He only reported on his gegraphical area of scouting and didn't have much say in who the team would draft or type of player.
Our drafting turned around with Judd Brackett's promotion.
Trevor Linden talked about how hard Judd fought to draft EP. He went all in and stuck to it.. He got his wish and Canucks got a future superstar.
