Bumping an old thread. I was going to start a new thread to ask this exact questions but searched to see if there had been any discussion in the past. Over the years, it seems this question has been asked many times.
With all the coaches we've been through, the transition to Feaster and Weisbrod, and now a new hockey ops position, why hasn't anything major been done about scouting? Why is Tod Button here after all these years. The Flames early round picks have not been great and there haven't been any hidden gems picked up in the mid to late rounds.
Button has been with the Flames since 1997 and been head scout since 2001. Twelve years as head scout with not much to show for it. I can't help but think it would have been nice to have had some fresh blood to lead the scouting group for the Flames especially for this draft.
