But then who do you pair with Bouwmeester on the 1st pairing? Butler wasn't as horrible as some people think, but it's not ideal. I don't think Brodie is ready for that yet. Sarich, though tough and physical, is slow, with very limited offensive capabilities. Babchuk? (Kidding). Butler may be the best option at this point, unless Brodie has one hell of a camp.

I think if you are spending $5 million bucks, you want him on your top pairing.
