well...he's also played a lot fewer games too...so...yeah math and stuff...

Yeah, but like half of Cole's games he's played bad and he makes mistakes every other shift. I'd say Butler has only had a couple bad games and is much better at getting the job done and not screwing up by trying to do too much.

making a bad play != having a bad game . Cole had that one **** up this game and it seems like you are trying to tell me that he's playing poorly today

I think this is over-stating things a bit with regards to Cole.

Butler made a couple of big plays and it earned him some regular ice time. He played a horrible game and it earned him the bench.

Butler might complement Jackman a bit better than Cole in some ways, but I don't think he's locked up a top 6 playoff role by any stretch of the imagination.

Yes a mistake that almost cost a goal. Other than that he's been fine. And I'm not tying mistakes to bad games, im saying Cole simply makes more mistakes from what I've seen.

I'd much rather have a third D pairing guy that gets the job done and makes little to no mistakes (kinda like Jackman) than a guy who makes a few big plays and then a few big mistakes.

Cole just scares me sometimes.

Jackman makes huge mistakes, quite often actually

Butler has made a bunch of mistakes in his games this year, and I think he has been much better than what we all expected. So if he is making mistakes while on his A+ game, what happens when he starts to fall back to his average?
