Rumor: Bolts hiring OHL scouting director

Yahoo Sports Junior themed hockey blog, Buzzing the Net, reports OHL director of scouting, Rob Kitamura, is lleavign his position with the OHL to become a scout with the tampa Bay Lightning.

It may just seem like a small bit of unimportant news, but when the guy responsible for the selection of (then) junior level stars Drew Doughty, Logan Coture and P.K. Subban is the scout in question... Well, it makes things interesting.

sounds like an awesome move, esp since we have a generation of bottom third drafting ahead of us :)

Here, here!

"[The Lightning] are uncanny. When they want to get a goal, it's like they just snap their fingers or hit a button. They just dial it up. You can see it. It's like they flip a switch. When they are down, it's just like they think, 'we know we are going to score.' I don't know what it is, it leaves [the opposition] flabbergasted." - Mike Knuble, 3 May 2011
