So there's a very very short list of players that are an upgrade on Butler who will be available this summer...but you're saying there are better options? Even if there is one player that will fit in better than he does, the team should look at going after that player and consider Butler as a back up spot. He's a 5-7 defensman on just about any team if he even makes some teams, the team should be looking to upgrade in each and every position not just hoping that they somehow get better over time.
If the team wants to get better, they should go after better players and if they can't get anyone else then sign Butler after they've tried to improve. I'm not 100% dead set on not having Butler but I don't think they should sign him until they at least try to improve first.
