Its also been noted that Sutter did his own thing for first picks when he was in charge and Button took over for latter picks. Don't see to many first round picks working out, but some of the latter picks are going to. (Brodie, Arnold, Reinhart ect)
He also seems to be following Weisbrod's criteria and doing a good job. Not sure why the hate anymore?

pure speculation that has never been confirmed. Button has flat out blown 85% of the drafts he has been responsible for.
Funny how he is only viewed as having 2 decent drafts out of 14 years. Yes 2 out 14 or 12 however long old Button has been screwing up the Flames with his stellar track record.
Button in his stay with Calgary has cost the Flames years and years of bad development.
Button isn't even mentioned on the the Flames website anymore but yet there he is still around lmao.

I am delighted when my employees get 2 out of 14 tasks correct. Button is the best Head of Scouting in the NHL. He builds a dynasty.
