Roundtable Chat: Dustin Byfuglien walks away from big pay day but will be remembered as Jets fan favourite

After nearly a decade with the franchise, the Jets and defenceman Dustin Byfuglien have agreed to a mutual contract termination, bringing an end to a strained relationship. Gino Reda, Frank Seravalli and Sara Orlesky discuss the legacy he leaves behind and where he could end up playing next season, if he chooses to continue his career.

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.
