Re: Butler Signs
Congratulations, Bobby. You were always fun to watch, especially this year. Best of luck in the Hobey contest. Hope you're bumping up against JVR along the boards real soon.Last edited by goblue; 03-28-2010, 09:52 PM.We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.

I'm sure Butler got a pretty penny, a la Bozak last year and the Bruins certainly couldn't afford that with their cap situation.BC Eagles Hockey East Champions: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1999, 1998, 1990, 1987

Butler contributed as much as possible to UNH for 4 years, the way it should ideally always be. It's just nice to see. I know he wasn't drafted earlier, but I'm tired of teams being hit with early departures. This is just a nice story.BC '97

I posted elsewhere but I think this is a bone head move by the B's. It is what works out to short money they have space for, and if he doesn't work out you ship him to the AHL where it isn't on the big club cap.
Low risk high potential reward. This has nothing to do with what Butler does at the NHL level - just bad strategy.
He is probably better off in Ottawa anywhere. No proof, I just have the feeling the B's aren't overly fond of the college guys."Now Progress Takes Away What Forever Took To Find" Dave Matthews Band, The Dreaming Tree
