In the past we have not been that great at drafting great talent. We have had the odd diamond in the rough (i.e Johnny,4th round) but overall our development system has not been overwhelming.

Tod Button is the last guy I’d want fired from this organization. This is the same guy who saw something in both Johnny Gaudreau and Nikita Kucherov. He’s the only reason why Gaudreau is even on this team. If it was up to him, I think the Flames have both Kucherov and Gaudreau driving their own lines right now and the Flames would be perennial Stanley Cup contenders. Button = Safe.
