Is this a CP typo and you meant that Butler has resigned?

Probably my least favorite thing done today. Billins looks to be a pure AHL signing.

Enjoy how everyone has appeared to caught amnesia over Butler's decent play last year.

Not sure what Butler has done to deserve a raise, but it's only 1 year.

Billins must be for the Heat, no?

I'd hoping Billins is on an AHL deal.
