Report: Kings, Devils among Will Butcher's top choices

Will Butcher appears to be doing some last-minute consulting ahead of his big reveal.

The college free-agent defenseman previously stated that he would decide on the NHL team he'll sign an entry-level contract with on Sunday, and on Friday the 22-year-old was scheduled to travel to New Jersey to meet with both the Devils and Los Angeles Kings, according to Mike Chambers of the Denver Post.

Per Chambers, the two clubs are believed to be among Butcher's top choices.

On Thursday, Butcher's agent, Brian Bartlett, confirmed that both the Vegas Golden Knights and Buffalo Sabres were among a list of four teams in the mix to ink Butcher.

Bartlett further stated that Butcher is looking for a club that can give him the chance to have a long and prosperous career.

Butcher had seven goals and 30 assists in 43 games last season at the University of Denver, captaining the team to the NCAA championship.
