I mean...Butch's an undersized offensive defenseman with skating issues. They already have one of those without the skating issues. So I can see it from their point of view; they need defensemen to complement Barrie, not to replace him.

He shouldn't have won the Hobey Baker over ZAR, either. But that's a separate issue. The local guys are just going to be salty about this because they're so far up DU's ass, Avs players have mocked them for it on Twitter.
