Button was talking about how Bouchard isn't fast enough for the NHL, then Struds asked if he was like Griffin, which was when Button said Griffin was the perfect example.
It was more like a bait comment
It's not like button is wrong. It's an unpopular opinion but I respect button. He only commented on one aspect of his game to Reinhart because he was asked about it. However people just hear button comparing him to reinhart and immediately think hes out to lunch. It's not like hes saying they are on the same level or play the same style of game. If Bouchard wants to get better at the NHL level he will have to push himself to up his pace while still being calm and poised.
