Do the Detroit Red Wings have a problem scouting & drafting from North America compared to stars from European leagues that they’ve picked, like Seider & Raymond?

Yes
keep uploading shorts!
The increasing misery and desperation until getting to larks lmaaooooo
I wonder who they get to replace that guy mentioned in the pod for NA
Love that you guys covered this. My theory is Stevie continues to prioritize drafting Euros because he has a better braintrust than his NA staff.
Brad Lambert is my pick
You guys are sleeping on Hanas. Dude can score highlight worthy goals. But yeah North American drafting hasn't been good…
Seider will make a great Red Wings captain in future.
I think it's more that steals are more easily available from Euro leagues so it makes sense to try when you're just outside the top 3 every year.
The key is not how good your team's scouting staff is in absolutely terms (unless you get a lottery pick, which has never happened for the Wings). The key is how good your scouting staff is relative to the rest of the league.
I don't think that the Red Wings have particularly bad North American scouting. It only seems that way because the rest of the league scouts North America better than they scout Europe.
gotta go with best available sometimes..
regardless of culture
