Why? What insight would you hope to get from him?
Button's job was done when he was drafted, and it's hard to complain about the Flames drafting him when they did.
Compared to the high-ranked players drafted after him, he still looks like the best of the bunch. He had a tremendous season in junior the year after he was drafted. Even his first year in Abbotsford started out really strong until he was injured.
Whatever went wrong between the Flames and Sven, scouting and drafting him aren't the problem.
