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.

I believe I mentioned trades as well which would imply the pro scouting team. Buttons in charge of that to I would think. I'm not sold on amateur scouting either i'm looking at the whole body of work from 2001 to now and its really quite average. They aren't Oilers bad but they aren't knocking it out of the park either. Combine that with poor pro scouting and its an average team year in year out no matter who is running the team because the information being supplied to them is adequate but not great.
