Button and the scouting department still have a job because they have done a good job. Im only guessing but the majority that are commenting on theese prospects have never seen them play before and are judging based purely upon stats.Buttons first few years as director when Craig was GM they came to the draft and took risks many of them didnt pan out but they came up to the plate with the intention of hitting a homerun.
Pelech is an absolutely insane defencmen i watched him a few times in the O and have seen some ahl action and hes ready. year.

Todd Button's drafting was actually better under his brother than Darryl. Anyone that would rather have from 7 drafts Dion, Boyd, Pardy, Prust, Backlund over from 3 drafts Lombardi, Kobasew, Nystrom, Stoll, Foster and Moen is out of their minds.
Secondly, this is Pelech's 5th year of development and Darryl chose to bring a soon to be 37 year old Staios at a 2.7 million cap hit instead of leave a spot open for Pelech next year. Yes, he could move someone in the offseason to make room but this doesn't exactly make me think he has confidence in Pelech. By God, it's been 5 years and despite the injury problems if he's not ready to be a defensive defenceman in 5 years we're wasting time and money developing him.
