Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be acquired by Wild
The Wild are expected to acquire Butcher from the Penguins, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Butcher has three goals and seven points in 14 contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. Although he hasn't played at the top level this season, the 29-year-old has 16 goals and 114 points in 275 career NHL games. If the Wild acquire Butcher, he will likely initially remain in the minors and provide Minnesota with additional organizational depth.

It's been a swift fall from grace for Butcher, who began his NHL career with 74 points in his first 159 games. He's posted just 32 points in 79 games since and was shipped from New Jersey to Buffalo this past summer for a fifth-round pick. That light return shows just how much Butcher's stock has plummeted around the league. The good news for Butcher is that he should have a chance to revive his career on the rebuilding Sabres in 2021-22. Rasmus Dahlin is going to run Buffalo's No.1 power-play unit, but Butcher should get first dibs on whatever scraps are left over and that may be enough to make him a late-round fantasy option in deep leagues.
