How many more 50 goal seasons does Iggy have with a set up guy like Savard as his C all those years?
Combine that with St.Louis and Giguere, he really pushes hard for the worst.

Button by far the worst. Riser was a newbie and rushed into the position. Button had far more experience than Riser and as such needs to be held to a higher account. To muff up on St. Louis, Giguere and Savard as bad as he did is telling for someone with an eye for talent.
Riser at least got another gm job. Button has been on tv since.
