Fantasy Analysis
Chris Butler is usually more of an intangibles defender than a stats guy, but he had a solid night Thursday. Also a good sign were his three blocked shots, as it shows he was not afraid of re-injuring his thigh. (Updated 03/23/2012).
A recent arrival in Calgary as part of the Robyn Regehr trade, Butler will have a chance for a fresh start following a rough playoff campaign with the Sabres. He played in just 47 games last season with nine points and a plus-8 rating, but he did have 21 points in 59 contest two seasons ago. Odds are he won't light it up offensively and you're better off with a younger player with more upside. (Updated 10/4/11)
