Why is that obvious? Have we watched the same Butler? The guy was a bad defenseman on a bad team that got playing time in part because of injuries. He's a 7th defenseman at best, based on his current level of play at least, on any playoff bound team. What more can he expect? Maybe one team offered him a full one-way league minimum, but he didn't leave millions on the table here.
