Mew Jersey GM Lou Lamoriello believes that Bobby Butler has "potential of being a top-six forward." "There's no question he was goal scorer in college and certainly in the first (36) games in Ottawa his first year," Lamoriello said. "He showed he can score and then for whatever reason, and these things happen when there's a coaching change, he didn't get as much as ice time (only 11:28 per game after playing 15:25 per game in 2010-11)-not through anyone's fault. He also played in Binghamton for (former Devils assistant and AHL head coach) Kurt Klienendorst when they won the Calder Cup, so we know a lot about him there and also his college coach (Dick Umile) I had at Providence. So, we know enough about him." He'll get a shot at training camp to stick with the Devils, but he did sign a two-way deal, so starting the year in the minors is also a possibility.
