Devils are very thin on the left side so im not sure a trade like this works. I think Butcher could be moved at some point, but as of right now their number 1 LHD is a righty in Severson or Vatanen or it's Andy Greene who is likely retiring at year end and is not a top 4 quality guy anymore. Mirco Mueller is playing way more games then he should because of how thing they are on the left side, so i dont see butcher going anywhere unless its for a NHL quality LHD in a trade where one team needs a puck moving D man and the return is a more defensive minded D man.

Ah really? Guess I misinterpreted the situation. I saw Will on the third line and figured he's just being stuffed by a strong right side (Severson, PK Subban). Alternatively, Reilly can be added in as an inferior quality offensive D.

Not Fleury please
Maybe like Vejdemo, Teasdale, Sklenicka, J./G. Olofsson and/or Friberg and then a pick

Do you really believe that anybody you mentioned except Jacob Olofsson has any trade value of significance? Come on... When you mention Friberg, it just shows you're being unreasonable. You gotta give to get--I like Cale Fleury too.

Just to double down on this... You mentioned Sklenicka as trade bait. Today, he was passed through unconditional waivers. Further evidence that you want to give nothing and receive everything
