Not only to some of the bigger positions, potentially, but some of the ones that you don\u2019t think of first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks have 13 amateur scouts listed on their website, led by Todd Harvey. Harvey has been with the organization since 2017 and was promoted to the role of director of amateur scouting in 2021, following <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/canucks-parting-ways-scout-judd-brackett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Judd Bracket\u2019s departure in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Delorme is another notable name. The 70-year-old has been an amateur scout with the organization since 1986, serving as head amateur scout from 2000 to 2022.<\/p>\n<p>On the pro scouting side of things, the Canucks have six scouts listed, led by director of professional scouting Brett Henning.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see what direction the team goes this offseason, though amateur scout changes usually come after the draft, which is scheduled for June 26 and 27 in Buffalo this year.<\/p>\n<p>With the team now in a rebuild, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/canucks-finally-stockpiling-draft-picks-caveat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the Canucks have stockpiled more draft picks<\/a> than they\u2019ve had in decades. Vancouver is armed with 10 picks in the upcoming draft, including two in the first round and another two in the second round. They have extra picks lined up for the 2027, 2028, and 2029 drafts as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who will be held accountable for arguably the worst season in Vancouver Canucks history?
