The Denver Post is reporting that Chris Butler and the Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a deal.
“It was tough,” said Butler, who was drafted by the Sabres in the fourth round in 2005. “I’ve enjoyed every minute at Denver. And the guys and the coaching staff — everyone, from the strength coach to the administrators — are very special to me.”
Named to the All-America second team Friday, Butler was the Pioneers’ best defenseman and two-way player. He had 17 points (three goals) this season, and had a team-high 110 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating.
He was the quarterback on the No. 1 power-play unit and a key penalty killer. He also led DU in minutes per game.
