John Lilley has been named Director of Amateur Scouting today, taking on a role that didn’t exist as a stand alone position in recent years.
When Mark Hunter was hired by Dave Nonis in 2014, he bumped Dave Morrison out of his position as the Director of Amateur Scouting. He had essentially held that position since, even after he became an Assistant General Manager.
In the most recent reorganization, Morrison was made Director of Player Personnel, another role that Hunter held as well. Troy Brodie took over for Morrison.
Now, the other side of the equation has been filled in with Lilley, one of the four regional scouting directors promoted to rule them all.
