There may be some bloodlines connection in the Buttons, but I wouldn't simply use Button's list as the Flames' Big Board.
Craig wouldn't have had us selecting Hunter Smith (88th ranked), though I'm sure he was pretty happy with selection of Adam Ollas-Mattsson (42nd). Other picks are admittedly pretty close when ya look back.
