look at past trade deadlines and see the quality of players that have returned 2nd round picks. Fact of the matter is 2nd round picks are traded more than any other pick.
And in a year that is believed to be a weak draft a 2nd is worth even less.
In the last few years we have seen 2nd round picks dealt for guys like Sekera (2nd plus), Kennedy, Murray (for 2 second rounders), Arnott (2nd plus.... Twice), White, Liles, Kobasew (2nd plus), Primeau (salary dump), Boyes, Moore, Carcillo (2nd plus), Corvo (2nd plus), Sanguinetti, Jimmy Hayes, Cullen, Riley Nash, Grebeshkov
I'm sorry but if some of those player have returned a 2nd round pick, ruling out the potential of Butler returning one too is ridiculous. I'm not saying he will or should, just saying its stupid to dismiss it.
