The Devils will meet with soon-to-be free agent defenseman Will Butcher, according to a report from the Denver Post.
Butcher, the 2017 Hobey Baker winner as college hockey's top player, will become a free agent after the Colorado Avalanche lose his rights at midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 16. According to the report, Butcher will also meet with the Buffalo Sabres and Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Butcher declined to sign with the Avalanche back in April and he was expected to explore his free agency options. He was a 2013 fifth-round pick by the Avalanche before he played four seasons at the University of Denver.
