2. How weird is this entire situation?

3. Why doesn’t Dustin Byfuglien just retire?

4. The unique nature of Dustin Byfuglien.

5. What has broken down between the two sides?

6. What does Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff do next?

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.
