Will he be traded?
Although the Jets and Dustin Byfuglien are apparently not engaged in any contract talks, ESPN.com's John Buccigross claims that Winnipeg isn't ready to move its d-man.
Buccigross admits that although either have yet to confirm anything, it is believed that both parties are ready to wait to see how the season play out before talking contract extension.
Many NHL teams would like to get their hands on Big Buff, teams like the Boston Bruins and the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are looking for more offence from their blueline. Buccigross argues though, that even if Byfuglien is a rare commodity in the NHL, the fact that he is not an organizational player diminishes his value.
Jets' fans be assured, Dustin Byfuglien is going nowhere soon, especially while the team is battling for first place in the Central.
You know that GM Kevin Cheveldayoff knows better.
