Sutter got a goaltender and had the team in the playoffs for 5 years in a row.

He went out a bit bleakly but I think he was unlucky at times. The injuries in 2009 derailed a pretty good team. Getting the 26 pick in that 05 draft lottery was also a bit of misfortune.

He did make the team somewhat relevant again and to me that's worth more than a guy who could acquire some talent but ultimately never put a competitive team on the ice like Coates.

Treliving I think is pretty overrated as his free agent signings are bad. His trades are mediocre at best and his drafting is highly regarded today but it's based a bit more on optimistic projections than it is on real results. Give that Hamilton trade two more years and the Flames might be out the top two players in that trade.

Button.. just awful...he should be last place.
