At one of the season ticket holder meetings a month or so back, Ken King was talking and essentially admitted that the flames drafting record was pretty poor. That promted someone in the crowd to ask him why he thinks its going to get better with the same people (ie. Button) in charge.
His response was along the lines of that while the people have not changed, the 'process' has changed significantly. They now use extensive analytics and decision making software to consolidate thoughts as opposed to the 'old days' which sounded a lot like the scene from Moneyball where a bunch of crotchety old guys debated names, with no real way of knowing if the 'best' choice was made or the group just gave in to the loudest personality.
