Report: Jets are exploring all Dustin Byfuglien trade options

For those looking on a daily basis at the waiver wire waiting to see Dustin Byfuglien’s name it continues to be a waiting game.  Tonight Frank Seravalli of TSN is reporting that it is because the hockey club wants to see if it can turn 33 into an asset.  Seravalli had this to say:

Turns out, the Winnipeg Jets have waited to pull the trigger on a mutual contract termination with Dustin Byfuglien because multiple sources say the Jets are attempting to exhaust all trade options for the hulking defenceman.

You can read his full report here.

This is certainly an interesting development but it is hard to see the Jets getting something at this point for Byfuglien simply because he isn’t likely to be a player this season according to reports.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
