Last night, The Athletic’s Arthur Staple reported two significant changes to the New York Rangers scouting department. Chris Morehouse, Director of North American Scouting, and Kevin Maxwell, Director of Pro Scouting, have both left the team for other opportunities in the NHL. It should be noted that Morehouse is John Davidson’s son-in-law.
This follows major changes to the department we saw when the team did not renew contracts prior to the playoffs. The biggest name there was Gordie Clark, but Brendon Clark, Rich Brown, and Daniel Doré were also not renewed. Per The Athletic, Oto Hascak, a European scout of a dozen years, is also out and is now working with HC Slovan Bratislava.
