Frankly I don't care how he does against the majority of NHL teams, it can't get much worse can it? He's found us nothing, it's time for a change.

In your work do you look at your peers and say, "it's OK if I suck because they suck too?".
You miss the point. If his peers don't do any better then maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Most late-round picks never pan out period, regardless of the team.

Sure some teams likely have a better track record than others, but that's the stuff I'd like to see so one can determine how far behind Tod Button and the Flames really are behind the curve, or if they're behind it at all.

You can't just throw out numbers and say "that sucks" without comparing it to some sort of standard.

Not being a Flames apologist here, as I suspect the drafting hasn't been up to snuff either, but I'd like to see a comparison before I make a judgment call on it.
