Head Pro Scout Deserves Recognition

Team: 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 18, 2021
Published: Mar. 18, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Does anyone know who it is? I tried looking it up and found inconsistent answers.
(Edit: I think it's Eric Crawford)

I just wanted to recognize how well they've done. They've single-handedly helped the Habs become such a good team. Just consistently finding undervalued players in every single trade.

Smartest signings:
Danault - 3.083M x 3yrs
Evans - 750k x 2yrs
Chiarot - 3.5M x 3yrs
Petry - 6.25M x 4yrs
Anderson - 5.5M x 7yrs
Toffoli - 4.25M x 4yrs
Allen - 2.875M x 2yrs
Mete - 735k x 1yr
Perry - 750k x 1yr

MTL
  1. Domi, Max
Additional Details:
3rd Round Pick

  1. Anderson, Josh
Additional Details:
Completely underrated, I had viewed him as a depth 3rd line player.
2.
MTL
    5th Round Pick
    CAR
    1. Edmundson, Joel
    Additional Details:
    Still needs time but is paying off very nicely so far.

      7th Round Pick
      STL
      1. Allen, Jake
      Additional Details:

      I was not even close to expecting the revival of starter Allen.
      4.
      NSH
      1. Dauphin, Laurent
      Additional Details:
      Not really an NHL player but is much more valuable than McCarron.
      5.
      MTL
        4th Round Pick
        BUF
          Marco Scandella

          Paid off as far as I'm concerned, he played well as a 2nd/3rd defenseman.
          6.
          MTL
            Michael Chaput
            ARI
              Jordan Weal

              Worked out great and was a very valuable 4th liner who even tried out the 1st line at one point.
              7.
              MTL
                4th Round Pick
                LAK
                  Nate Thompson
                  5th Round Pick

                  Extremely valuable depth center, still upset he's gone to Winnipeg.
                  8.

                    Rinat Valiev
                    Matt Taormia
                    CGY
                    1. Kulak, Brett
                    Additional Details:
                    Insane value exchange, AHL defensemen for an excellent depth defenseman.
                    9.
                    VGK
                    1. Suzuki, Nick
                    2. Tatar, Tomas
                    Additional Details:
                    2nd Round Pick

                    Suzuki wasn't really a "Pro player" but Tatar has paid off great AND we got a top prospect who has flourished.
                    10.
                    MTL
                      Simon Bourque
                      WPG
                      1. Armia, Joel
                      Additional Details:
                      Steve Mason
                      4th Round Pick
                      7th Round Pick

                      Canadiens take on Mason's contract, buy him out and get Armia a 4th, and a 7th for Bourque.
                      11.
                      MTL
                        Alex Galchenyuk
                        ARI
                        1. Domi, Max
                        Additional Details:
                        Even though Domi isn't as valuable now, this trade connected to the Anderson 1 for 1 making it practically Galchenyuk for Anderson.
                        12.

                          1. Weber, Shea
                          Additional Details:
                          May not have been too far back to be the same Pro scout but this turned out great.

                          Scandella was then flipped for a 2nd and fourth so I'd call that a great return for a guy who played 10 games with us.

                          I think if they continue with trades like this they'll become a cup contender. It may take a year but I'm willing to wait for a nice team.

                          All those players listed come from different geographical areas. For instance my territory was all of Ontario, PA and NY up until Albany. So each scout will have a territory. Then you have pro scouts, those guys scout other NHL teams, then you have amateur scouts, those guys do CHL (WHL, OHL, QMJHL), OPJHL, NCAA, USHL. Then you have your European scouts, then you have those that look at AHL players. Then you will have contract scouts, example you recommend a player in the USports or ECHL and he makes the team, you get a finders fee anywhere between $1000 to $7500. if the players gets an A or a C on his jersey while with the team, you get a bonus. I recommended two d-men to the team I worked for and they had zero interest. I knew they could play and I was not allowed to contact teams in the league I worked in, so I sent them to a team in another league, both made the team, both helped team win the memorial cup, so I made an extra $12K for those two players in total. So it really depends.

                          Make all the comments you want about ‘offer-sheet’ gate...but the Habs also aggressively attacked an extremely underrated player in Aho.

                          All those players listed come from different geographical areas. For instance my territory was all of Ontario, PA and NY up until Albany. So each scout will have a territory. Then you have pro scouts, those guys scout other NHL teams, then you have amateur scouts, those guys do CHL (WHL, OHL, QMJHL), OPJHL, NCAA, USHL. Then you have your European scouts, then you have those that look at AHL players. Then you will have contract scouts, example you recommend a player in the USports or ECHL and he makes the team, you get a finders fee anywhere between $1000 to $7500. if the players gets an A or a C on his jersey while with the team, you get a bonus. I recommended two d-men to the team I worked for and they had zero interest. I knew they could play and I was not allowed to contact teams in the league I worked in, so I sent them to a team in another league, both made the team, both helped team win the memorial cup, so I made an extra $12K for those two players in total. So it really depends.


                          Who were the two players?

                          if I answer that then you know which team, then you can put pieces together as to who I am and I want to keep my anonymity on here. One player after junior played Usports, the other player is still playing in the NHL.
