See, I think it is. Truly talented scouts are hard to find, and if any team in the league felt the Button was talented enough to contribute to their organization, they would have made strong pitches to hire him.
As for TSN bringing him in, this is a network that also considers Steve Simmons to be among their hockey experts for major events. They have Button around because he's a name people know. There's a reason his mock drafts are fairly far from how things actually work out.
