from Jim Morris of CBC,
Evaluating hockey talent is nothing new to Cammi Granato.
In the past, the Olympic gold medallist would argue the strengths and weakness of players either with her brothers around the family dinner table, or later with her husband Ray Ferraro, a former NHL player and current broadcaster.
Granato's thoughts and evaluations carry even more weight now that she is the only female scout in the NHL.
"Your opinion actually matters," said the former U.S. Olympic team captain and Hockey Hall of Famer. "It [used to] only matter when Ray and I bet, and I would win the bet. I would be excited I was right."
Granato has been hired by the Seattle expansion team as one of five professional scouts as the franchise prepares to begin play in the 2021-22 season.
