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.
Didn't they also do video scouting? When Darryl came in he hired a bunch of scouts iirc
