Rumor Update: A new team enters the Butcher Sweepstakes?
Keystone Press

According to a report from TSN analyst and NHL insider Darren Dreger, top NCAA free-agent Will Butcher will make a decision on his NHL future either this weekend or early next week. Check it out:


Interesting how Dreger mentions that there are four teams now in the mix. A report yesterday indicated that only the Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils and Vegas Golden Knights were still negotiating with the 2017 Hobey Baker Award winner. So, who might this new team be? Rumors had swirled earlier in August that the Chicago Blackhawks could be in the mix, ditto for the Montreal Canadiens. Could one of these two Original Six teams be the mysterious fourth team? Time will tell.
