Pretty damn sure if byfuglien told cheveldayoff his situation the jets management team would have re-signed myers and or trouba with the savings of byfuglien retiring, thus the jets wouldn't be in such a bad position on d men. This is all on byfuglien, he did the same thing before where he went and ice fished over making milions in the NHL. LOVE buff but he needs to man up. Winnepeg terminates byfugliens contract making him ufa for the 19/20 season. Canucks trade Fantenberg & Stecher to the jets. Canucks sign byfuglien for the playoff run.

Makes me wonder if Byfuglien’s injury was handled improperly, perhaps he is pissed. Anyone know if he’s been training anywhere? If he’s been skating?

From the Seravalli article: Byfuglien, 34, has not resumed skating since undergoing ankle surgery in late October. He reportedly began rehabbing the injury in consultation with the Jets in mid-December, but hasn’t progressed to the next step in the process.

They had no intention of extending him. As for Trouba, that horse has been dead for a while, now. He didn’t want to play in Canada, and specifically wanted to play in New York for his girflriend/fiancé’s career. And, considering how Pionk has turned out for them (as well as re-acquiring their first and using it on Heinola), the Jets are happy with that return (at this point). But yeah, had they known Buff’s status ahead of time, they certainly could have made a trade earlier to shore in their defense. Now, they are caught in sort of tough spot. However, with the huge cap relief they will get now, their chances of landing a defenseman at the deadline with term left is higher than other teams, as they have the cap space that other playoff teams may not have.

He had surgery only at the end of October and without consulting the Jets. The Jets wanted him to play for them this season - he caught them completely off guard. If they knew he wasn't right they would have made him take care of things over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is different than reports of a players association stand off. Arguing he is due to be paid as his hiatus was a legit hockey injury. But, I mean, he did have surgery? On 10/7/2019 at 2:09 AM, Monty said: Worth a thought, I suppose. I suppose he has his right to retire. Remains curious timing. If I was a Jets fan I would be upset.

Canuck Surfer Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Whoo'da ever thunk a guy who showed up for training camp 70 lbs overweight? Would leave another one of his teams hanging 10 years later. That he ''tried'' to be a leader, called out guys like Evander Kane? It always seemed suspiciously flakey to me. I always speculated, have here on CDC. He was part of a locker room void. Lack of real commitment. That held the team back for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t make a difference in my life whatsoever. As for the team, they’ll still make money, they still have Scheifele, Wheeler, Laine, Connor, Ehlers, Morrissey, and Hellebuyck, as well as now Pionk and Heinola. Also, I think the fact that they’ve managed to tread water like they have without Buff, who’s 34, shows the depth they do have. And now they have a lot of cap space to try and add a defenseman with term, who’s also not 34 years old. But whatever happens, I don’t actually care. I’ve got a 3 year old and a 9 month old that occupy my care. Hockey is as low in the totem pole as it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 From Friedman's 31 thoughts 3. The Jets, Dustin Byfuglien, the NHL and the NHLPA continue to work towards an agreement on his contract termination. One of the key negotiating points is beyond both the team and the player, with the league and the union needing to agree on language about his grievance. From what I’ve heard, there’s a low confidence level at this time that he’d win it, and, in order for things to work out, they’re going to have to agree that this outcome cannot be used as precedent for any future grievances. That has happened before, with Mike Richards. When he settled with the Kings, both sides agreed it couldn’t affect future litigation. 4. Byfuglien has yet to resume skating, so it is extremely unlikely he returns this season. But, if he has any desire to play in the future, there’s going to be interest. There are obvious connections in Chicago (old organization), Florida (old coach) and Vegas (Kelly McCrimmon ran Brandon, where Byfuglien began his WHL career). Even teams without such clear relationships would wish to talk to him, too. There was a time during this process when the Jets wanted him to return with them, but the relationship soured as this continued. He’s a unique personality — I say that with respect — and there’s no certainty about what he’ll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Hockey News just published a rumour article that seems to shed light on why Byfuglien doesn’t want to be in Winnipeg anymore.
