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?

That 2011 draft looks so good that I'm a little apprehensive that Weisbrod would change up the criteria.
Another consideration for Button is that he's gained a lot of experience here even if he maybe wasn't that good in his earlier years.
