This is an ironic bump given the premise of the OP. In the three years since it was created, Adam Pardy, Brandon Prust, Keith Aulie and TJ Brodie (plus Lance Bouma if he could stay healthy) have all turned into 3rd round or later picks that turned into decent NHLers (Boyd had a not-insignificant run as well), and we are currently very high on guys like Reinhart, Gadreau, and the like, while Backlund, Erixon and Baertschi look like they will be decent to decent to above average NHLers from the first round.
That isn't to say that Button should keep his job, particularly when we next replace GMs. It is a good example of how much can change in three years though.
