At this point money is irrelevant. Term is only thing that matters. Cap floor is a LONG way off without Cammy, etc.
Money does not matter, only length of term

Agreed here. $2M, fine, but don't give him a contract that has more years on it then the number of months he's been playing well. Giving a bottom pairing defenseman more than 2 years would be as smart as giving Tom Kostopolous a 3 year contract a few years ago.... Butlers not useless, but he's not irreplacable either. If he's not willing to sign for 2 years or less, I'm more than sure there is someone out there that can fill the job Butler is doing. And if Butler is really going to improve, he should be more than ok with 1-2 year contract.
