50+ games is more games than we've had rookie defensemen play
combined under Hartley's reign. Do the math. Wotherspoon+Kulak+Cundari+that tall guy whose name I forget... that's pretty much it. You're right that Sutter played Butler too much but so did Hartley. The difference is Sutter at least gave Brodie an opportunity to play and build an NHL resume. I have no confidence Hartley does the same.
