At least we contemplate options like buyouts to ensure we are competitive, versus shipping out for damaged goods and insurance payouts on the cheap like Ottawa.

I think you may be confused with my post. I was critical of the pro scouting, not the amateur scouting. I’ve actually been very complimentary of the work the amateur scouts have done. If anything, we’ve diverted way too many assets from the amateur scouts in favor of the pro scouts.
Who knows, maybe in another world, the Flames never traded for Brian Elliott and the Flames end up drafting Alex Debrincat and then we never sign Neal.
