Like many have said Butler has looked better, and I think being with Brodie, Butler can play his game more.
Butler and O'Brien as a pairing it seemed like neither one wants the puck, and when they get it they just want to get rid of it as fast as possible cause they don't want to mess up.
Now, he can give the puck to Brodie, stay back and let the kid roll.
I think Smith with O'Brien are a good pair, cause Smith slows it down and is better with the puck so O'Brien can play a simpler game.
