A third pairing defenseman who is amongst the leaders in shot blocks is NOT a good thing, but given the way Butler plays it's not surprising. If under the slightest bit of pressure he just backhands it out of the zone and right back into the oppositions hands. He has to block the shots to cover up from his constant mistakes. The fact he blocks that many shots and still has a really bad +/- can easily identify that he's terrible defensively to go along with his non existent offensive game.

I was happy for about 10 games earlier in the year when Butler was playing with a bit of confidence and starting to actually make plays, but he's back to his old **** self. We'll be lucky to get even a 4th rounder for this guy, it's delusional to think we can land a 2nd round pick.
