Re Valimaki - Due to pedigree? Maybe. If he has a "Cody Ceci" career is that successful pick though? What if Liljegren has a much better career being taken one spot later?

Fox wasn't a good draft pick because they didn't sign him? Just used him in a successful trade? Please. We were talking about talent evaluation at the draft IMO. .

By pure "talent evaluation", you can give Feaster credit for Kucherov since he was clearly identified as a guy they wanted.
And Fox was a throw-in in that trade. You're making it sound as if the Hurricanes managed to sign him.
Fox has accomplished nothing for the Flames. And the guy who found him was already in the organization when Feaster was here. In fact, Jim Cummins who gets credited for Fox was the same guy who found Gaudreau.
Crediting Treliving for Fox is silly.
