It's been the same guys for 20 years. How are they not getting any blame for Sutter's, Feaster's and Brads mediocrity? The GM picks the best options with the data given to him by them. Maybe they are just mediocre evaluator's considering the information they have given to the Flames GM's hasn't amounted to any sustained successful teams. Its the same guys every management cycle feeding the data to the GM. When we get a new GM we expect different results when the under lying architects are the same.

I think you're getting things confused here.
The team's amateur scouting has been pretty good. It's the pro-scouting that has been awful.
I think Button has shown that if you give him actual picks to work with, he can make good selections, but he works for the GM. If the GM is going to trade away all the good picks and not bring any back, there isn't much the amateur scout can do to salvage that.
