It was then that he immediately decided to go for Johnny with their next pick, but Sutter had traded away their 3rd and so they had to sweat it out til the 4th round to call Johnny's name.

Scouts don't get mentioned a lot in those hypothetical "who would you want to spend a few hours over beers chatting with" question, but Tod Button would be a great choice to hear about all of the Flames moves that never happened.
