Tod Button has been in this role for 23 years.

Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk are the only two superstars he’s ever drafted.

His top-5 draft picks arguably still include Phaneuf.

He had Ramholt ranked ahead of Weber - this is the only reason I can think that Darryl took some nobody Swiss D ahead of a 6 ft 4 200 lb kid in Kelowna.

Hes a fine enough interview and guy, and yes the GM still has to listen, but his “lists” suck.

By the grace of Jay Feaster, they didn’t flub Gaudreau, and by the grace of Jim Benning they fell ass backwards into Matthew Tkachuk.

I would rather have the guys running FC in charge of this scouting department.

It’s said all the time “scouts must know something we don’t.”

Yeah, but also no. They really don’t.

They should, but They’re watching the same video we are, and they’re making the wrong decisions.
