Timeline
Craig J. Button (born January 3, 1963) is currently a ice hockey analyst for TSN and a former National Hockey League (NHL) executive.
Born in Rochester, New York, Button entered the world of hockey at birth.
His father, Jack Button, was an executive with the Rochester Americans, and his mother, Bridget, was the secretary to long-time Toronto Maple Leafs' General Manager and Head Coach and Hockey Hall of Fame member George "Punch" Imlach.
Jack held executive positions at the American Hockey League before embarking on an extensive career as an NHL executive.
Button's brother Tod was an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals and is currently the Director of Scouting with the Calgary Flames.
The Button family moved to Montreal in 1975 when Jack was hired by NHL President Clarence Campbell to institute and manage the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.
Button served as the head coach of the Israeli Under-18 Junior hockey team.
Button graduated from Riverdale High School in Pierrefonds, Quebec in 1980 and obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Concordia University, Montreal, in 1987.
Button began his NHL management career in 1988 with the Minnesota North Stars.
He was the Director of Scouting for Dallas Stars 1992–98, Director of Player Personnel for Dallas Stars 1998–2000.
While with the Stars, the team participated in two Stanley Cup Finals, winning in 1999, and were recipients of the Presidents' Trophy on two occasions.
He replaced Al Coates as the Vice President and General Manager of the Calgary Flames in 2000.
Button's tenure as Flames general manager produced mixed results.
Button also traded away promising young goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in exchange for a second round pick in order to protect Fred Brathwaite in the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft.
While he was a guiding force for the Flames' primary development team Saint John Flames of the American Hockey League when they captured the Calder Cup championship in 2001, his moves for the Flames roster didn't have the same impact.
Button put future Hall of Famer, Martin St. Louis on waivers, who left the team and signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning as a free agent.
Button held the position until the conclusion of the 2002–03 NHL season, when his contract was not renewed and was replaced with Darryl Sutter whom he had hired as Head Coach in December 2002.
During the 2003–04 NHL season the Flames made it to the Stanley Cup Finals before losing in seven games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
After his departure from the Flames, Button joined the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2004 as a scout.
Button is currently TSN's Director of Scouting, drawing on his intimate knowledge of the game and its players to deliver insight on the NHL's top prospects.
He is also a key analyst on TSN's That's Hockey.
Prior to joining TSN, Button was an analyst on the NHL Network show NHL on the Fly.
