In June 2013 he was transferred to the Florida Panthers in exchange for TJ Brennan , where he only played two games in the NHL in the 2013/14 season and spent the rest of the season with the farm team San Antonio Rampage in the AHL. In the following season Butler was only used in the AHL, so that he decided to move to Europe in summer 2015 and joined Modo Hockey from the Svenska Hockeyligan .

In the summer of 2016 he signed a contract with the KHL Medveščak Zagreb from the Continental Hockey League and had 37 KHL games for Zagreb by December 2016 before he was handed over to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod . After his contract expired, he returned to the United States in August 2017, where he signed a contract with the Milwaukee Admirals from the AHL. From there he moved within the league to the Hartford Wolf Pack in July 2018 .
