Chris Butler, our 418th ranked defenseman, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Carolina Hurricanes because they could use a player of this quality to play defenseman. The Hurricanes currently have only 1 healthy defensemans, and 1 is rated better than Butler: (Ty Smith).
The Hurricanes currently have no defensemans under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Butler could see a potential long term contract with the team.
