After hiring Ari Vuori away from Detroit a little less than a month ago and assigning him the Director of European Scouting title, the Leafs have added another European scout to the staff in former Oilers and Coyotes scout Robert Nordmark, according to Swedish outlet Expressen.se (h/t to @LoweTide for the tweet out).
According to the Expressen report, the Swedish native was offered a contract to stay in Edmonton but opted for the new challenge when Mark Hunter came knocking after the draft.
Oilers Nation graded the performance of their team’s scouts back in 2013 and rated their European scouts, including Nordmark as well as Pelle Eklund and Frank Musil, the highest among the area scout groupings.
