Hobey Baker winner Will Butcher is pulling a Vesey and is probably not going to sign with the Avs. Let's see how that works this time.

Apparently Roy told him last season that the Avs weren't ever interested in signing him. Ouch.

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.

I think we might have talked about Roy's size kink before, because he really did have a thing for big guys.

I honestly don't understand why most seniors don't do this, especially if they can't burn a year. Unless you have a connection to your team (ie Matt Grzelcyk and the Bruins)

DA Here is a link to an article http://www.denverpost.com/2017/04/11/will-butcher-denver-pioneers-not-signing-with-avs/
The full quotes from Butcher are:
“I told him I didn’t want an offer yet,” Butcher told The Denver Post. “I wanted to sit with him, talk with him about my year, what they’re thinking, what their philosophy is going to be. My parents are coming in this weekend for the banquet, and I want to talk to my parents before they offer me anything.”
(Talking about a meeting with Sakic)

“He came in and gave me his whole spiel about changes in the program, going younger and everything like that. I told him I’d get back in touch with him,” Butcher said. “I’m weighing all my options right now. I want to take my time. I don’t have anything to rush into right now. I’m not going to play anywhere right now. So I might as well take my time.”

It sounds kind of mutual, but even if it's not, I doubt he'll get the flack Vesey got. It doesn't sound like Butcher ever lied to the team about his interest and especially not in a way that screwed them over in the playoffs.

Yeah the ones that blow up tend to have the dishonesty aspect attached. Schultz was another one where you had people in the organization feeling misled.
