A RW, so where do we see him in the lineup? Maybe 4th line with Gaustad and Spaling?

Lots of speculation that we would try to pick him up last season and offseason. So no big surprise here. Could pay off, but i'm not really expecting anything.

I wish Nashville nothing but good luck with him, he showed flashes of talent but didn't fit in very well here.

21 pts in 36 games a few seasons back in Ottawa - if he did that now that would make him what, our #2 scorer?

I'm not really sure how you can compare the two. We traded for Sullivan...and he was a top performer for the Blackhawks at that time...

It was a sarcastic comment.

Only if he scores a goal in the last minute of the second period.
Butler is a no-risk move. I doubt he plays until Friday, though, unless he was in the air this morning. Even then, it seems like a stretch...

I knew I set you up. I knew it, you are like my personal gad-fly.
But the fact is this, well done.

He took morning skate in NJ, so that's not happening.

TSN Toronto says Butler was pulled off the ice in Toronto and is on the way.

This may be the case, but I doubt we see him play tonight. With 3 days off, I bet he practices with the team the next time they practice and plays Friday at home.
hope B^2 can find a niche and stick with the preds. now, can the devils have halischuk back please?

I second this.
Butler's like that guy that his shot and offense is pretty good, but everything else is just meh.
He had a good four or five games but his play had really tailed off of late and it his time on the big club was up. I think most Devils fans anticipated him being placed on waivers.
The biggest problem in NJ was he was stuck on the fourth line. DeBoer was unwilling to break up Carter-Gionta-Bernier which was our third line and he wasn't knocking Clarkson or Kovalchuk to the fourth line. He was usually stuck on a line with: Barch/Matteau-Josefson/Loktionov as his LW-C combo. He had some time with Zajac-Kovalchuk on the off-wing too and he looked pretty good, as well as on the 2nd PP, but with the emergence of Loktionov, he is likely to take this spot.

These are the moves Poile loves. I'm sick of them for one.
