The dinner would have been 10yrs+ now so testing my memory...but the question from the table was what was the move he regretted the most. He didn't even pause, he instantly said the Savard trade, I thought he might go with the St Louis situation. Anyway he talked about being a first time GM, the situation with the coach, and if he had to do it again he wouldn't do it. After he stopped speaking, I sent a text to a friend telling him he was right about that trade and I was wrong, because I had defended Button's position on it for years at that point.
