Somebody isn't doing enough research about who gets brought in, and the UFA signings have been... honestly pretty bad. "Oh I knew that guy back in Hanoi in 68, he's real solid." doesn't get the job done.

Tod Button is the head of amateur scouting, and has nothing to do with UFA decisions.
And the Flames have been drafting much better in the last four years under Treliving.
