A few questions I would like to ask on recruitment.
For example the nhl and other major leagues have scouts.
Cardiff devils don't have scouts.
And by that I mean people who go around the leagues watching players.
We simply can't afford it.
So do we actually recruit players by word of mouth?
Eg King said this player would suit us.
Reid thinks this player will be great for our style of play etc etc??
I know we watch players in our league as we play them week in week out,
But how do we actually know Crawford jardine etc etc are our type of player with out watching them?
Just because of the stats?
