Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community - View Single Post - UFA Poll: Should the Flames resign Chris Butler

I'd let Butler walk. I've gotten over my previous dislike of him, he's a serviceable NHL defender. I really want the Flames to make an effort to sign Willie Mitchell this off-season. He wants two years on his next deal, he's 37 and he's come back from major injuries time and time again. Now he's playing big minutes and contributing for LA in the finals AGAIN.

This is the sort of free agent signing our team needs. A (soon to be) two-time Stanley Cup champion, warrior, stay at home physical D with some decent puck skills, excellent leadership, and someone who overcomes the adversity in front of him like clockwork.

I'd rather have that on our blue line than Butler, but that's just me.
