In the last few years we have seen 2nd round picks dealt for guys like Sekera (2nd plus), Kennedy, Murray (for 2 second rounders), Arnott (2nd plus.... Twice), White, Liles, Kobasew (2nd plus), Primeau (salary dump), Boyes, Moore, Carcillo (2nd plus), Corvo (2nd plus), Sanguinetti, Jimmy Hayes, Cullen, Riley Nash, Grebeshkov

I'm sorry but if some of those player have returned a 2nd round pick, ruling out the potential of Butler returning one too is ridiculous. I'm not saying he will or should, just saying its stupid to dismiss it.

You do have a point in that there are a lot of mediocre players who do return 2nd round picks. Or in some cases, even a 1st rounder (Paul Gaustad )

If someone offers second round pick for Butler, Burke should take it and run before they come to their senses.

No one will.

You can probably get a 3rd/4th for Butler. 3rd if you have a motivated partner.
