This is a great move by the Blues as there's no risk at all on their side as if he makes the lineup they have a veteran player in his prime for pretty well league minimum salary.

Will the NHLPA give their blessing to the contract?
Butler was the Flames alternative rep on the NHLPA Executive board.....
I thought that when Iginlia was talking about signing a home town discount contract to be a Flame for life the NHLPA was pressuring him to go for the market rate so as not to be used as a comparable for other elite contracts.
Does this contract have any impact on the rest of the 4/5/6/7 D-men?
Is Russell worth 4 times as much as Butler?
Does it establish non essential UFAs ( Stempniak, Sarich, Galiardi, Westgarth, O'Brien) will have to sign for?
