True, and that's why Dwyer's remark that Butler's contributions were "quite replaceable" is hardly accurate. We've only had a 3-men rotation at the forward spots so far this season. With Caron out, there's actually a severe lack of depth at the 4 and and the 3 and you have to wonder who's going to fill the hole. Cardinal?
On top of that, we're down to Jet as our second option on offense which isn't exactly promising given his occasional no-shows. Butler's been an efficient scorer this season as well as an insurance policy.
Going into the playoffs with a streaky Jet and a somewhat-unproven Roddy behind Dirk might be enough to beat a good team, but it's not enough to win a championship. Having Butler out there would definitely help us offensively and increase our margin of error.
