<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>It's hilarious how Devils fans keep saying this. And by "saying this" I mean deluding themsleves.

Its funny because its true.

Butcher has put up more points overall than Dunn, and in fewer games.
Butcher's pts/60 are higher than Dunn both on power play and at even strength.
And Dunn gets a higher % of his starts in offensive zone.
They have had similar possession statistics, Dunn a little better since he has been on better team. Butcher better relative stats.
And Dunn turns the puck over more than Butcher.
And Butcher's career hits-per-60 are similar to Pietrangelo's over same period.
Butcher also blocks shots at higher rates than Dunn.

So, no, we are not deluding ourselves. We are just pointing out what is actually true.
Dunn and Butcher are very similar players in value and production.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drew1871</b></div><div>What can you tell me about those two guys?</div></div>

Schmaltz was a 1st round pick, went the college route. Never really got the fair shake in STL because he was more of an offensive guy and we liked Bortuzzo as the stay-at-home, 3rd pair type behind Parayko/Pietrangelo (he wasn't taking their jobs). No one took him off of waivers so he really doesn't hold too much value, but he's still kind of young and deserves another shot somewhere.

Blais has developed into a really good prospect, I'd say he's our 2nd best AHL player behind Kyrou. His offense is definitely there in the American league but he plays on the 4th line in his call-ups and we don't see much besides a few flashes. He plays well in the bottom six already (physical/responsible), and has a good amount of scoring upside.
