I said "Yes" based solely on his shot blocking. I think that kind of commitment to the team's success can be infectious and inspiring. Look how pumped the fans and team got after some of those shifts Bouma took where he blocked 3-4 shots in a row. I know lots around here aren't fans of Butler, but he's a good bottom pairing guy who can step up when needed. If we re-sign him and he gets beaten for a spot by someone younger, so be it. Good to have that kind of competition
