That is why he got the big contract
and Butler was top 2/3 in 2011-12.
And Butler is incorrectly pencilled in as a lot as top-4 this year according to some and SOB #5/7.

Average TOI
2008/09: 15:00 / 20:00 or more 6 games / +3 for the year
2009/10: 15:50 / 20:00 or more 2 games / -3 for the year
2010/11: 14:40 / 20:00 or more 2 games / +3 for the year
I too would prefer Pardy at that price over Butler as a 6/7th defenseman, but the pride of Bonavista has never been more than a lower pairing D-man.
