Butler played top paring with Bouwmeester for an entire season where the team was in playoff contention right down to the last few weeks. This is the first season that Brodie hasn't had sheltered minutes and he's been okay but at times you can see he struggles. It's work in progress and that's not a bad thing as this is kind of a throw away season so seeing him struggle this season isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as he improves and isn't making the same mistakes next season. He's been far from the Flames best defenseman this season though as IMO Russell, Wideman, and Giordano have all been better overall.
