Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Nathan Bastian (2 Years / $825,000 AAV)
i dont see why though I think depth is definitely a bigger problem on the blueline. the cap is not anywhere near a problem. taking either butcher or subban only helps get the other to play more consistently. Subban is probably more likely to be picked if they were both exposed still amazing in the community everywhere he goes. but Butcher is younger, cheaper (doubt that matters in Seattle's case) and has more potential. I would hope if the devils get a forward or a defenseman taken its a forward preferably Johnsson or Merkley. not bastion or mccleod.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>Late in the season, Butcher performed pretty well offensively, but he's a train wreck in his own end. He was a PP specialist anyway. Shero was not good at evaluating talent. And the Devils would gladly be taken off the hook on either Butch or P.K. Never gonna happen, though.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>Hahahaha Subban?? Why would they ever pay $9M AAV for a guy worth $4M AAV? And Butcher couldn't crack the lineup on one of the league's worst defensive teams and he carries a cap hit of $3.7M. AJ will have no part of the Devils future. He's terrible. Bastian plays with an edge. All you people understand is stats. You need physicality in your lineup if you're gonna win in the playoffs, or haven't you noticed the Isles and Golden Knights just knock off 2 Cup favorites? Bastian projects as the quintessential 4th liner on a good team. They'd rather keep McLeod, b/c. he brings speed and physicality, and that's why he's still unsigned. But, AJ, Subban, and Butcher are worthless long term.</div></div>

to be fair butcher didnt play because hes the odd offensive defenseman out and there really wasnt anywhere to put him except across from subban. when butcher played he performed better than subban.
