I know that if I'm the St. Louis Blues I'd be thinking long and hard about Butler. Going into playoffs depth is key and having a very cheap Butler around if a situation arises where you need a Dman to step in is significantly better than calling up someone who would be over their head and wind up playing shorthanded.
Its a gamble.

Butler played 1,661:48 minutes for the Flames last season. 2nd highest on the team behind Brodie. Butler was the poster boy for the 2012-13 Flames.
Pardy played 865:15 for the Jets...... clearly a secondary player for the Jets.
If Pardy is a reasonable comparison to Butler it mean that the Jets are twice as good a team as the Flames.
