## Resource

Tod Button is about to enter his third decade as the Calgary Flames’ NHL draft scout — a rare feat in pro sports. Since 1997, and in a leadership role since 2005, he’s guided the team through multiple GMs, consistently delivering NHL talent, even if not always stars. Under his watch, the Flames have averaged eight picks per draft under Craig Conroy, with promising depth — though no players yet hit 200 NHL games. His ability to adapt, explain his philosophy, and maintain scouting excellence through organizational chaos makes him a true institution in hockey.
