Obviously his scouting lists must not have been that bad. There may have been various factors as to why the Flames leaned towards certain types of players at various points (Sutter.) Certainly the Flames have access to every scouting list he's made for them so it is pretty easy to judge whether he's decent or complete garbage and whether he's been improving. Given how many regimes he's survived it seems obvious that his lists must be pretty decent. And presumably he's gotten better over his career.
