Many of those names were the usual names, scouts from other teams based in MTL or close.
Chris Yzerman from Detroit and Pete Chiarelli from St-Louis were unusual. And the Vegas guy too.
I don't think C Yzerman scouting a team in the division is unusual per se. MTL is probably not a playoff team but if Detroit wants to make the playoffs in a favorable position, they probably want to face Toronto which means being the 3rd/2nd seed. I have no clue if they are playing each other any time soon though.
He may very well be scouting players including Edmundson, playoff teams don't hate having veterans on their 3rd pairing. Detroit fans will probably say that Yzerman is ruining it if he does acquire him.
I will say though not to expect Yzerman to overpay for him or that any team would give me the Chiarot deal for Edmundson because he's not a rental. GMs are willing to overpay for rentals or player with term on budget contracts at the deadline, not players who they can't walk away from easily if they don't like the fit.
Maybe he was scouting Hoffman too, 😂. I wouldn't be surprised if Yzerman traded some pending ufas and acquired some guys with two years of term.
Chris could have been scouting Caulfield to see if he's worth giving an offer sheet. Chances are he's scouting a number of players but doesn't mean they are interested in any right now.
