Okay then should GMs never be blamed for poor drafting or poor drafting past the first round if the GM merely deferred to his scouts? Do the Calgary Flames have the type of scouting staff that should be given full authority to decide on their own who to draft? If not, you want someone setting directions for the scouting staff as the draft will impact the future of the franchise.

I never got the Weisbrod firing. Weisbrod's expertise was in scouting and selecting kids at the draft. He could have been repositioned if the new GM didn't like him. There must have been a conspiracy theory somewhere.
That or Burke thinks the last couple of drafts under Feaster and Weisbrod were crap.
