I also give Button zero credit for “finding Kucherov” by mentioning he was close to taking him before going with Wotherspoon and Granlund instead. If anything that makes him look worse

True. But think about 10 years ago. Back in 2011, it was a bigger league and teams were afraid to draft smaller players like Gaudreau. Kucherov was a pretty small guy too, so he fell into the same boat.
I'm not going to harp on Button too much, none of us know the discussions that occur in those amateur scouting meetings. Methinks Brian Burke had a big say in 2013 and 2014 though. Look at the Keegan Kanzig and Hunter Smith picks, 100% Brian Burke players. Since those Burke lead drafts, the Flames seem to have went the opposite direction now under Treliving where they're looking at smaller skilled players.
