Morehouse on What He Looks for in Players, Draft Picks He’s Pushed For (+)

What does the San Jose Sharks’ new Director of Amateur Scouting look for in players?

In Part 1 of a two-part interview, Chris Morehouse told San Jose Hockey Now about his path to head of the Sharks’ Draft table, from Moncton Wildcats captain to how he got into scouting:

Chris Morehouse on His Path to Sharks’ Director of Amateur Scouting

Morehouse gets more into his actual drafting philosophy here: What’s he learned as an amateur scout over the years? Who are some of the Draft picks that he pounded the table for as Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting with the Columbus Blue Jackets and Director of North American Scouting with the New York Rangers? What can he tell us about the Sharks’ new director of CHL scouting Stephane Leblanc?

This is the future of the San Jose Sharks: Morehouse will run the Draft as a whole, while new Sharks director of player personnel Scott Fitzgerald will focus on the first two rounds of the Draft.

Straight from Morehouse’s mouth, what should Sharks fans expect from him?
