Butcher definitely has value, he is a good player. I'm not sure why you are so down on him. He plays on one of the worst teams in the league and is learning on the job while doing a good job.
Yak has very limited games and I hope the team decides to re-up because I'd like to see more from him. But he is still unproven. He's just had some good games when he's actually had playing time.

I have the impression he gets a lot of O-zone starts and comes up small on defense. He's easy to manhandle and isn't speedy enough to make up for it. Small and average speed usually doesn't equate to a top 4 guy. I know he's still learning, and has definitely made his mistakes. Just trying to choose our future wisely. I'm not super down on him though. we shall see.
