What does that have to do with anything?
You posted his Calgary drafting record as if it proved he can't find anyone, when his Stars drafting record does back up the thinking that he was a pretty good talent evaluator before he came to the Flames.
He didn't do a very good job in Calgary, that is for sure, but he did put together a lot of the 03/04 team. Maybe the poor drafting was a combination of his added responsibilities as a GM not allowing him to have as much hands on the scouting process and having to rely on his staff and the fact at the time of his tenure with the Flames, the team was not known to be a big spender and who knows what their scouting budget was relative to other teams.
