Nothing wrong with this move. He needs to play 15 minutes a game plus to gain experience. He doesn't deserve that ice time in the NHL. He is a kid playing against men and just can't compete at the NHL level.
Theo spent some time in the AHL gained confidence and then looked what happened. He is no Theo Fleury but nothing wrong getting experience. Look how much better Paul Byron looks this time around.
Maybe Butler can go to the AHL for 3-4 years
