Personally I am on the fence on this one...
The reason is that I just don't see Butler becoming any better, so we get a whole bunch of average. On the one hand he is not the kind of player I associate with a winning team, on the other hand he is a fine gatekeeper until we get someone better. Butler does seem well liked in the room, and his shot blocking seems to lead by example, but on some shifts he really makes me want to throw out my TV out the window.
Bottom line: players like Butler are not the difference between a winning team and a losing team, so stay or go it will not affect the Flames in the slightest.
