The funny thing about a lot of GMs, is that their success and failure isn't often apparent until they are gone. It's like politics. There is usually some lag and the successors either get the credit or the disdain based on the actions of the predecessor.
When the Flames were successful, Sutter was humble enough to put a lot of the credit on Coates.

6th overall - a Russian
22nd overall - a goalie (Fucale)
28th overall - traded for a roster player
That would make CP a very interesting place...
