The Arizona Coyotes have made another front-office move. After firing their previous Director of Scouting Lindsay Hofford, they have named Darryl Plandowski as their new Director of Amateur Scouting.
Plandowski comes to the Coyotes from the 2020 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. He had been serving as the Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting for the organization, having spent the previous eleven seasons as head amateur scout.
It is difficult to know how many draft decisions Plandowski was personally involved in, but the Lightning have been the best example of building a champion team through the draft.
