Will Butcher might be ready to choose his NHL destination as soon as Saturday or Sunday.

The highly sought-after college free agent is still visiting teams with three or four in the mix, and his decision is expected to be made either this weekend or by the start of next week, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Butcher reportedly trimmed his list of suitors down from a dozen clubs this week.

He's apparently already spoken with the Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils and Vegas Golden Knights, while Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford confirmed last Wednesday that his team would be making a presentation to the 22-year-old defenseman.

Butcher became an unrestricted free agent last week after choosing not to sign with the Colorado Avalanche, who drafted him in 2013. He won the Hobey Baker Award as the top U.S. college hockey player after helping the University of Denver win the national championship this spring.
