Staff?
I have:
1 trainer
4 Assist Coaches
1 Owners
1 GM/Head Coach
I think that is right.
22 Scouts
How many scouts should I have?
I cannot tell how many I should hire.

Thanks
It's not about how many, it's about what they're scouting. Typically you want Scouts to cover a large area and you'd like them to look at current ability, and potential. I recommend 2 per area. You can scout either region or leagues. Personally I prefer Leagues in North America and try and do more regions on Europe.

You want Scouts covering:

NHL, AHL, ECHL, WHL, OHL, QMJHL, NCAA, USHL at least. 2 per. You may want more.

You can do regions in Europe, but you may want 2 scouts for KHL, VHL, SHL, ALL, Finnish tier 1 & 2. Then just have some elsewhere as well.

I'd recommend probably around 30 myself if you want to cover everything.
