Devils 2019 offseason team discussion (news and notes) XI

[devilsblood]

Butcher isn't even good on the power play. He's not a PP specialist. He's best 5 on 5 and he hasn't been tried as a top pairing D, so it would be hard to know if he's any good at it or not. My money would be on him being fine there.

His 5.16 pt's per 60 on the PP ranks 17th amongst d-men through the first 2 years of his career.

And I am skeptical he can handle top pairing duties, would like to see him play some legit mid pair duties before he makes that jump.
