Butler - Brodie

not really surprising ... Wideman-Russell has been a fine pairing, why break it up? And for all the Butler hate, I prefer him to Smith and O'Brien when it comes to playing top 4 minutes. He shouldn't play those minutes, but it's not like we have an alternative right now ...

I echo the Backlund sentiment though. He has played well this season IMO, and even if Colborne has been fine, Backs shouldn't center the 4th line. Nothing against Stajan, but I won't shed a tear if they trade him at some point this season and Backs can move up again.
